    Yea i took some of the guys who replied advice and just let it go the past two days have been a lot better and i have seen George is a nice guy who just likes to mess around a lot so i cant hold it against him. He pokes just as much fun at himself and messes with everybody. I got one more day in the classroom and i found out that i scored the highest out of the whole class on all the tests we took. Yesterday i did an hour on the simulator and another hour of straight line backing and a bunch of time in the classroom. I am really excited for load securement class to start on friday. Though i am a little nervous about the backing. I just have never learned to back anything but dry van 53 foot trailers. I just am worried about trying to do.the alley dock with a 48 foot spread

    Don't worry about it it's easier with a spread with a dump valve, flip the button slide it in reverse and take off.
