I learned something today, thank you ragman [emoji106]. I guess as a vanner I never had that problem

You can only park certain places?

So busy day today at dr Bodene's truck driving academy(I still hate that name). We worked on shifting, pre trip, in cab pre trip, and parallel parking both driver and blind sides. Then once we "impressed" our instructor enough we had to teach him how to parallel park by walking him thru step...

Not yet but averrit and maverick are on my final list

Drove on the interstate for first time today and even passed a swift truck lol

Got to see my first tractor on tractor accident today. While taking a breaking while out driving we stop at a truck along a factory. A dry van was backing and a tanker was also back up and they collided. Scary moment but the D.O.T. Bumpers saved the day and got bent up but didn't hit the...

It's behind the marathon so it's actually on N Dogwood. It's called 76 truck plaza I've been told they have ok food but I can't vouch for that. It's a on the run down side of truck stops but then most are

West down paint lick rd or US 21

They didn't mention they had those but dry van might be just another part of driving TC and if so no biggie for me

Man that's literally 3.1 miles from my house lol. Have you ever checked out that mom and pop truck stop down the road?

Well I was informed today that my background was clean and that I have been approved to go to orientation for my first choice of carrier which was maverick driving in their temp control department. They said assuming I pass hair and urinalysis drug tests and pass the basic driving tests I'd be...

You in Berea KY Ohio or SC?

Well the old 90 model freightliner 's throw out bearing died today so no more driving on the road until Monday. So instead been doing in cab pretrip and parallels all day in the yard truck(a rough appearing 01 9200i) all in all good day just been listening and learning mostly. Also we got a...

I'd like to be home most weekends so I think regional would be best for that based on what I've read. Camera I'm actually ok with for the most part because as long as I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing it shouldn't make a difference. Sleep apnea I'll test and wear the machine if they want...

I think he said but I may imagining this that using a clutch with as much experience as he just slows him down lol

I did my stint and I did much better than my partner but still can't find 4th but managed my other downshifts well. He's showed us how to double clutch but he doesn't seem to remember to do it when he's out on the road. Don't know if that's because he forgets cause of age or just falls back on...

He claims he's never driven an automatic tractor but ole dude doesn't use his clutch shifting from what I've seen but he says do as I say not as I do

Our driving instructor is a 70yo with 45 years driving and 5 years teaching experience. He's all about up and down shifts and braking down and yelling over this old freightliner lol

First day driving on the road and my training partner can't hit a gear to save his life but the throw out bearing in the truck is shot so they're letting us finish it off. Even the instructor is having issues but he said that it's good practice in case it happens when on the road and we're...

Touché not the worse idea and hey I'm sure I could always find a driving job
