CDL in hand... Now What ? Decision time, that's what...

I spent a couple of days in the DFW area (in a car) back in January; like any metropolitan area, they are always working on the highways. My wife was overwhelmed at all the freeway ramps and flyovers, but I was the one actually driving. Only missed one exit and had to turn around in 2+ days on the freeways there

 

Dang. I see that a lot though, nosing in. One guy told me its because he avoids backing as much as possible.

I can't nose in, if I do I feel lazy and like a loser so I back. I've had many times where I nosed into a spot, then backed out, turned around and backed in. Nosing in just doesn't feel right i guess.

hey Perpetual, kinda new here to the site, well I been looking over it awhile but just joined about a week or so ago. I introduced myself in the wagon deal or whatever its called when I joined. I have been following your thread here and pretty kool to read along to what you doing. I just received a call today and got welcomed to Roehl. I go in the morning for my physical here local and my oreatation date will be set after. Man im looking forward to this but scared at the same time. I chose Roehl based off you and a little more info I gathered here on the site. I chose flatbed basically for the workouts between driving. Anyway just wanted to finally speak on here and let you no what a wonderful job your doing by posting all the info.. I hope if everything goes good with me I will get a prostar when I get my own tractor. Take care man and keep up the super work.....

 

thanks.....

 

This morning a guy was trying to blind side back for like 10 minutes, kept hitting his brakes (woke me up 0130), finally he took off and came back a minute later and nosed in. I was about to get out of the bunk and tell him to nose in before he turned around.

 

You'll be coming in on 35. Not really a good truck stop there. Depending on where your load goes, you might wan to consider going 1604 east? (exit and turn left) to I10 then right to San Antone. Several good places there. Watch out going thru Universal City Cops can be bad.
