    So I'm out here working on the alley dock and the steering wheel won't move. I'm putting all my weight into it and I can't get it to turn unless I am crawling. I'm feeling like this is costing me precious space. I feel like I can't maneuver sufficiently with it like this. I wish I had a way to video it. This isn't normal is it. I'm at wits end here.

    Bring the RPM's up a bit when you're turning the wheel while stopped.

    Some of the trucks idle so low that the power steering pump doesn't work as well. Like DD said, Just pop the accelerator a bit and it will work. My last truck did it also

    I'm still here. Was supposed to test Tuesday but with the clutch issues and repair instructor wanted me to work more as it was almost a week since I got much driving in. We kept trying to get the loaner but turned down. So I'm on for tomorrow. I'm scared and excited but I can so do this. I will let you all know how I do.

    On another note after seeing a QC message from my FM about how long we've been here a good portion which was beyond our control I'm not happy. What a well I'm sure u know. Not happy. :( instructor says it's cool so I'm gonna live with that.
