Quick update. Today we did 90 deg alley dock and offset backing both were a little hard at first but once you get it, it's not to bad. We also did coupling and uncoupling. Which was the easiest.

Btw every instructor I've met so far is very knowledgeable and helpful.

What truck did you get? I drove 97, that Freighshaker Classic

I am also in 97. wicked shimmy at around 45mph. if you ease into it though you hardly notice

Well today we learned our last backing maneuver. Parallel parking. Amazing how you can get that truck into that space. This maneuver actually helped out in doing the offset backing.

Is there an instructor

there by the name of Sam Hogg ? He used to teach there, was a deputy sheriff. I helped him get his his CDL about 15 years ago. I see your 'rolling classrooms' on the road nearly everyday.

No at least not to my knowledge. I was told that one instructor quit during the last class
