    hey all ... I've been asked where Evo II has taken me so I'll give the cities ......here are my mileage numbers for the 8 days of Evo II ..... I drove 2254 miles of the truck total of 3462 ..... starting on 8/1 went from Richland, Mo to Des Moines to switch trucks and begin Evo II .... delivered in Englewood, Co ... picked load up in Aurora Co bound for Rapid City SD ..... picked load up in Rapid City bound for Greenville Wi ..... dead head to Lanse Mi pick up load for Hartford Ct with one drop in NJ ..... On way told to relay load in Kaukauna Wi because trainer would not get back home from Ct in time ..... picked up empty and went back to Lanse Mi for another load bound for Memphis Tn ...... wife picked me up in Memphis for home time (where I am now) because Roehl policy deos not allow to complete Evo I and II back to back ..... I call fm tomorrow to see when I hook up with trainer for my final 2 days of Evo II then test before Evo III ...... last trainer said I'm ready for Evo III and have a good handle on doing things the Roehl way ...... looking forward to getting out on the road again ....

    The A/C's are broke on purpose. It is training you to sleep in the heat so you won't idle...haha

    One of the test to go to evoIII and get your own truck is the 45' degree backing. Make sure your trainers give you practice. Alot of flats don't do much backing and a van is also longer than a flat.

    my Evo II trainer has been getting me alot of practice on the 45 backing (12 o'clock, nine o'clock, follow it in.... lol) .... note to people starting Evo training, put a comment on your log whenever you do a backing such as 45, straight line, etc .... I wasn't told about that until I got into Evo II ......
     
    Evil Cowboy Thanks this.
