Took the DPS exam yesterday, I passed!!!!!!!!
had 4 failures, 2 for hitting curbs and 1 for impeding traffic
the 4th one OMG
pulling out of the DPS parking lot he ran his trailer tires over the fender, bumper and trunk of a car pulling into the lot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you read that right, he ran over a car!!!
Needless to say he failed and thrown out of school, but he did not get a ticket.
His response was " Guess I should not be a truck driver"
Starting orientation next week then out on the road for 6 weeks with my trainer.
I will be starting a new post in the "Stories from the road" section and will be looking for you all at the truck stop. -
I guess he was right, he can feel where his trailer is!!
-
Gee...talk about stating the obvious...scary that he even made it to the exam!
