    Hi,

    Well this one is very embarrassing; I was following my trainer in the bobtail, went to make a left turn and hit the curb because I couldn’t make it; I was literally on the curb, didn’t hit anything other than that and of course the damage to the grass, but this store clerk walks out and is looking at me and now I’m worried I unknowingly committed a crime. This was a crime, right?

    Thanks so much Chinatown, I would’ve fessed up to it if I knew and not run away; the only thought that crossed my mind was getting the truck outta there

    That’s it lol? I’ve bent a trailer rim on a curve. Don’t lose any sleep over it if you’re in a mega company don’t mention it to anyone those pricks like to ding you on anything so you’re forced to stay with them.

    Heck I've seem 3 seperate TTs go over the curb at Bass Pro Shop after pulling 10s. No way around it the way the RV parking lot is laid out.

    I'm having trouble understanding the circumstances of what's going on with you and this "trainer"?

    Seems as though lots ( or all ) of the questions you've come on here and asked should either be taught or answered to you by this "trainer"?!?

    Are you getting along with this guy? Does he know what he is doing? LOL

    He was in a rental car because he’s gonna be going on home time tomorrow and I was driving by myself following him; I asked him if that was illegal and he had no clue, nor did he even chew me out for it, just “complimented” my driving skills in a joking manner. Sheesh that’s one mistake I’ll never make again.

    P.S. I like to use the forum as well because of the wider range of opinion from other drivers instead of just one person all the time
     
    MACK E-6, Coffey and JonJon78 Thank this.

    I half expected to be ripped on for this, but pleasantly found I’m not the only one who makes silly mistakes
     
    DoubleO7 and Coffey Thank this.
