3rd Times a Charm?

I've drove for fiften years, and I only use that pedal to the left for starting and stopping. What is this clutch for shifting you speak of?

 

You know, you are too nervous.Take your time.You can do this.
I think you see this as your last chance job. It is not. There will always be other doors opening, if this one closes. Calm down a little. Remember what you have been taught. You can do this.
We older hands have been trying to tell potential new drivers trucking ain't for everyone. Few people can adjust to the lifestyle. But you can do the driving skills part. Remember what you learned. You can do this.Be cool.

 

Well.......how is going?? Its funny what a few days in the seat can do for your confidence.

 

Are you driving a truck with a manual transmission? I thought USA only had automatics in their trucks?

 

O.T.F. You will get it eventually. It is just going to take you some time. You are lucky to have a very patient trainer though! As for the over the road thing, this is why most drivers quit. Home time! Nearly impossible if you have a family at home! New drivers for some reason just don't grasp the concept of how long they keep you out there! It will take sometime to get over the over the road "shock". After about three months of being out there you will be acclimated to the lifestyle of being gone and in the truck. Keep chuggin!

 

how do you get a .5%? Does one truck have both a manual and auto tranny?

Just messing with ya dude. Good luck out there.

 

Ok Onthefence,

We need a report, are ya still on the truck? I always see all of these posts and they just leave......I guess like the drivers themselves?
