| Friday and Saturday of the second week are test days. We were tested over all the maneuvers we learned during the week. I only messed up on one maneuver, which was blind side parallel.

| yeah, that just sounds really, really, really hard. Blind side parallel. I can hardly parallel park my little Saturn and I'm looking at everything from the car behind me to the car in front of me. And I can see both front and back of my car. I can't imagine parallel parking a huge, long truck on the blind side without some serious assistance from a helper!!

| Well sight side and blind side parallel are both much easier than parallel parking a car. You just need to know how to read your trailer and get out and look.

| Yeah, that's one thing I've learned here on 'the boards' is how to reach your goal. G.O.A.L. = Get Out And Look

| Today was my first day on the road, and boy was it fun. I drove for about 2.5 hours today. My only problem was a bit of lane control (expected from a new driver on his first day on the road), and signs. There is so much going on in a tractor its hard to notice all the signs.

| My lane control was much better today. The instructor dozed off for a few minuted while I was driving, so I guess that means I am doing a good job. Today we drove to Columbus up Pine Mountain and down to Macon, then back to Atlanta. I had a total of 3.25 hours today.
