    I finished my training and now heading out with my trainer on Monday. I have talked with him and seems to be a nice guy and wants to make me a good driver. Any advice regarding my next 5 weeks would be helpful.
    Thanks all

    Good luck and have fun! As for advice, listen to you're trainer and hopefully he will show you the ropes. Remember to ask questions if you don't know or aren't sure of something. Just relax and the 5 weeks should go by fast and you will soon be in you're own truck!

    Maybe when you get done you can inform the person with the "I don't need a trainer thread" how to drive! I think he's missing out on quite a bit of info there. Good luck to you. Bring a camera. It will probably seem a little tough at first but stick with it. It takes 2 or 3 months to adjust to life on the road.

    Just remember it's only for 5 weeks. If the "marriage" isn't working, just hang in there and get through it. You can do it. Good luck.....
