    hang in there KH--just keep your cool and ignore those wannabe's--they are just showing their stupidity--what people dont understand,scares them
    there is a time o fight--and there is a time to just let things slide, and those guys by being aholes--they are just digging their own grave as i am sure the instructors keep a close watch on things
    what goes around comes around

    I like this part, imagine them working in a warehouse, just finished loading YOUR truck, and they watch as you drive away in YOUR rig, then they climb back onto their tiny forklift! Let them eat your dust!

    KH- Please do not listen to these people. I ended up AP for a week for backing! Mr. Supertrucker had me convinced the trailers were dog legged and unbackable! It was me. I couldn't get the truck and trailer straight. I needed to learn my mirrors and I had missed 2 very important steps in the offset. As for the name callers, sticks and stones. They want to see you quit. Don't give them the satisfaction! That extra week really helped. I impressed my mentor with my backing skills. And he sleeps like the dead when I drive because he trusts me. And everyone gets picked on.. its rough and its hard, but you will look back on it and wish you were just back in Millington somedays.
    get some time in on the 90 degree when you pass! Its what 75% of my backing has been! And I didn't have to do learn it, but I should have tried it!

    DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!

    I spoke with KH last night. He is having problems with his internet connection. He is still having problems with some of the jerks, BUT he took his straight line backing test yesterday and nailed it on the first backing. Way to go KH!!! Keep that up ! He's supposed to call again tonight, so if he can't keep you updated I will ask him if it's ok for me to fill in for him. The boy is quite alright. He has been keeping me updated and lets me know what to expect when I get up there. I was supposed to be there next week, but we still have 500 inmates here and I have to wait till we empty out the prison and get laid off. KH thanks for letting me know what to expect !
