    We spent the day back in the classroom. Yes we worked on turkey day, but its better than getting behind. We reviewed trip planing as well as coupling and uncoupling, and finished with backing. We are excited to practice what we learned on the range tomorrow.

    Sorry about not updating much, using IPhone. Got a good group of guys in class. The first time behind the wheel is awesome. My respect for drivers has increased ten-fold. Holler later.

    Day 6: Today we started at 6 and worked till 5 and will do the same the rest of the week. The class started by preforming a pre-trip on the FL Classic. We accomplished 2 maneuvers on the course ally dock and sight side parallel parking.

    The weekend went by quick. Our homework was reading and finishing quizzes for 5 chapters. I spent Sunday at the school practicing pre-trip.

    Today was our first day on the road. Mon-Wed we practiced our backing maneuvers. We voted on an extra day on the road instead of classroom homework which we'll do over the weekend. Only six more days then orientation and then on the road with a trainer!

    We've been driving around with each student driving about 2 hours at a time. Tomorrow we head to Wisconsin to drop n hook trailers. Will be at least one night out. Next week is orientation and off with trainers. CDL test will be taken during our time with trainer.
