    Just absorb everything your instructors have to say. Good luck.

    That interchange is really easy to understand when you go through as it deals with a turnpike :biggrin_25520:.

    Make sure you are in the correct lane at the toll both.

    Sometimes you only have about three truck lengths before the exit, after.

    I'm quite sure he wont be seeing that interchange on the skills pad or the bump and grind section of old US40 near London Oh.

    only advice I got is , when you have the time for it(and you'll have plenty) use it to go over your pretrip. Also ANYTHING you dont understand about ANY of the backing , ASK the instructors. Ron is cool , so is Rick. As I understood it , Keith wouldn't be there anymore by now. Shame too. He was a good one.!!!!!

    Ask what you should be seeing as the backing is happening. What you should be looking for.
