Yes - usually there were multiple roll test "booths" in order to keep up with production flow. So - one driver goes all the way to the far right booth, the next driver off the end of the line goes into the next available roll test booth,etc. There might be three, four or five roll test stations depending on the final line rate.

Often after roll test there is another short repair line to fix small items that can be fixed quickly (backup lights didn't work, horn inop, etc).

There are usually two stationary repair zones: "light" repair, for items that couldn't quite be done will the vehicle was going down the short repair line, and "heavy" repair for the serious stuff: engine swaps, trans swaps, axle swaps, frame swaps, etc. The vehicle on the hoist is in either light repair or heavy repair.

After all the repairs are bought off the vehicle is ready to be driven over to the shipping building.

QC would be correction of existing equipment; no new installation of option content would be done at this point.
