Im guessing they will ask you to reverse the vehicle do they also ask for vehicle check before take off or leave that incase training on specific vehicles for new starts. It will be a tanker class 2
And for how long usually will they have you on assessment 20 minutes half an hour ?

All the driving assessments I’ve done entailed about an hour’s drive on a regular route, in which directions are given rather like on a driving test. During the drive, the assessor usually asked questions that in some way or other revealed your attitude to driving, to the wider work of driving and your attitude.
My last one was 6 hours for an agency client.
It included initial drink and drug test. Setting up a tacho account. Licence checks and photocopying. Various health and safety videos, followed by related questionnaires with a requirement for 100% pass rate (but I could keep retrying until I got 100%). An hour’s drive followed by reversing, uncoupling and recoupling, then a split coupling and recoupling. Then about an hour’s worth of form filling SSoW mostly.
I did the usual reversing check at the test centre whiich was the same place I had been trained, then a 20 minute drive around the local town that I knew very well then the examiner said “ Thank you for a nice drive, you have passed!”
This 
I got let loose on my very first run, agency no induction. YouTube’d how to use a tacho 
Lineage induction was 2 days though, mostly unnecessary ■■■■■■■■, but good to work for.
If you’re getting an assessment then they’ll expect you to know what you’re doing to some degree, or at least they should.
Daily checks, road drive and maneuvering…
Just don’t do what our kid did and spark a fag up once he was comfortable lol
My only driver assessment towards the end of my 60 year career was here with Paul Gauthier. He had me drive back from the next village in a New Gen Merc and, unused to left hand drive, I hit the kerb and bounced him up in his seat. he said ok when we got back.
On one assessment in a manual DAF CF artic, I did the usual gearing-down routine on a approach to hazards and applied the exhaust brake in the normal way. At the end of the drive the assessor said ‘You won’t slow a lorry like this using the gears’. I replied, ‘I know that. Did you not notice that I applied the exhaust brake every time? The exhaust brake doesn’t actually work on this unit, but I went through the motions to demonstrate to you that I know how it does work.’ He just harumphed and passed me anyway.
