on my way to prime

For the test... but think about this in terms of the long run.

When you're out on the road, you need to do this every day. At least I do. I don't get stupid equipment tickets (I work too hard to be paying some stupid judge or cop for a visit to them!), no CSA points, catch expensive maintenance problems before they get expensive.

 

Well booman I got my instructor today and ill b leaving for IL n d morning

 

Yes that's how its going but if an instructor contacts u, u can go w/o doing your pretrip u also have to keep n mind that when u get back u have to do pretrip skills & driving test its better (to me) to have pretrip out d way b 4 u leave terri is also a great teacher

 

I'd be calling my FM TODAY about that. You're supposed to be doing the driving as a student.

 

I suggest d same as IP today is my 2nd day w/my instructor and I drove 10hrs yesterday and did some backing at d kraft plant

 

When you switching? That's not right that he never let you drive... did you tell your FM about this?

 

I did my test before heading out. It is a relief to have that under my belt. Now i do them for the reason IP mentioned not because I have to. We stop for brake checks cause you can't earn the money in the morgue. And you don't make as much when your paying DOT.

Safety is everything. 10-20 minutes pretrip can save hours later.
