| Great day today, went on the road and drove on the highway.I did my breakdown test and railroad test. I talked with the instructor and he said he will recommend me to go for test. He wants me to go out on the road another week for some more downshifting practice.He said Downshifting is so important thats how you show control of your vehicel.You need to be able to downshift. Plus He know I want to eventually do tankers and explained why people roll over around curves etc. I agreed and just wanted to get the date within my normal time and everything should be allset. I'll talk to the main boss in the Am to see if he scheduled my test and for what date.  Last edited by BigDaddyJollyRob; 02.01.2008 at 03.05 PM. |

| BigDaddyJollyRob, Just wanted to let you know that I have been following your posts. It sounds like you are doing great. Pay close attention to the instructor when it comes to tanker issues. Yes, they will roll over much easier that a van. Also remember to leave yourself plenty of stopping distance. It is worse in any type of inclement weather. The surge of the liquid can push you into an intersection after you have come to a stop. There is a lot more so pay attention. Keep up the great work. Drive safe |

I will be off to CFI next Sat. or Sunday I hope I will leave Saturday because it is a 13-16 hour bus ride. I will not be lookin foward to that, better not be any screaming kids. Ipod volume will be all the way up. Orientaion is Monday the 11th # 6am Thats why I want to get there a day early to sleep. Well good luck on the test just take your time. From what Gene has said the test up there is alot different from here in MA.Later I will stay in touch on here . |
