    I feel like it's something I'm capable of doing, but I have WAY too much redneck in me. I don't wanna share my space, and I have zero patience for stupid. And I'm talking about the stupid you can't fix. I'm not gonna end up in the bottom of a ravine because of a mistake. There have been two students so far since I started blogging 18 months ago that washed out in training. And they should have. I knew they would before they even stepped into class. Simply because of how they talked on the phone and the posts they made here. I'm not saying anything bad about them as people, because they were both really nice. But no way they can handle this job. Who knows how many people they would have endangered. Good for Millis, their filter worked. Thank god.

    Of course you're a solo driver again
    What did you expect, the guy to fail? He had a #### good trainer.

    I hear about 2 people in a truck though. Some days I can barely stand being in here only with myself getting in my way. Another person? Not an option.

    Congrats on graduating your 1st victim.. errr.. I mean student. :)

    Haha ya I get the not wanting to share space thing. I will say it makes your days go by so fast. And after awhile little things start really getting at you. And totally agree on cant fix stupid, which is pretty much the reason I refuse to straight team with a student. I don't know how guys do it. Even with me feeling my student was a good safe driver in general, he still has only been behind my wheel for less than 15k miles and a split second f up can mean my life. No thanks I'll sit right there in the passenger seat so I can observe EVERYTHING and get home to see my boys. We had multiple 8-900days but that consisted of me driving for 4-6hrs then him driving his hours. Yes a lomg day for me, but my safety was never a worry.
