    Well today was my first day of school with Millis the instructor evan is pretty cool he actually makes it fun and he was a trucker for 7 or 8 years and really knows his stuff but anyways ima try to keep up to date with everything to help future students so today all we done was paperwork and then we went to lunchand after lunch we went over hours of service and log book and that was about it

    Today we done some logging which im still struggling on split sleeper berth but hopefully ill understand it when we actually get to practice on the Qualcomm and then we started working on basic control and vehicle operations and some other easy stuff that everyone understood and then we went to the range and got to practice shifting i actually caught on to up shifting but i could not get downshifting to save my life but we get to practice all day tomorrow so hopefully ill catch and also today was driver appreciation day so we got free hamburgers and hot dogs looking forward to tomorrow to get more practice in

    Well today we got to drive the Millis 500 lol i got shifting now and after me and my partner got the shifting down we asked if we could pull the tralier around and he said go hook it up amd he let me hook it up and pulled it around the rest of the day and i practiced turning real close to the cones and never hit one i would get about a foot away from it but one guy pulled through some cones and hit it really looking forward to getting some more wheel time
