    Glad to hear the glasses worked. I had the same issue and used older glasses instead of recent contacts I got.

    Backing comes in time - trust me I had a hard time at first, then it just sunk in. We'll see how well I do on the road starting Friday.

    It's scary as crap at first out there - but you get more comfortable. I will say I am still very apprehensive and drive slower that most.

    Yes, Cartersville, GA..will be heading to the Holiday Inn there on Sunday afternoon, then classes start promptly at 7:30 AM at the training center. Picked up my Commercial Carrier Atlas today for 20 bux at the local TA ( did not get the fancy spiral bound). Need to get some work gloves before i go and a good alarm clock.

    No worries on the alarm clock. The hotel has one in each room.

    Day 8 is done with and we had our backing maneuvers test. We all passed. This afternoon we took to the road. I drove for 24 miles. After the nerves calmed down I did ok. I did this thing 15-16 years ago with Roehl. I thought it would all come back to me like I never skipped. Well, to my surprise it didn't. Truckdriving is a humbling experience. It will come back to me eventually. Looking forward to taking a break for the weekend.

    Good Luck Chance you will have a good time. Truckdriving will be better than retail - I know because I left the Home Depot after being there for 4 years and even though I am being humbled by the truck it is definitely better than retail.

    Ciao for now!
     
    ChanceMasters Thanks this.
