Heading for Roehl Tomorrow

Yes i do all the time in my car , wait till all traffic clears and swing wide for turn, next as i cruise down the street, i lean foward a bit and look down at my tires and see if anyboby in my blindspot, i guess old trucking habits never go away, anyway when i do road test i used too get alot of slack for leaning foward too check my lower blindside on both sides, but it saved my butt a few times cause cars like too tuck right next too your fuel tank's, if if you have power mirrors thats better, but if look at mirrors , they really dont point downwards and too me those round spot mirrors are worthless , by the mirrors everything so distored, i want too know how close that car is next too me and those mirrors dont do that for me, but thats just me, and when i do road test and pull the trl from the lot and clear the two trls beside each side i crank it hard right about a half wheel, and look in my mirrors too see if tadems are going with me and not locked up, then i do the same for left, just a old winter trick i taught myself , when my trl tadems would lock up, and i had even a road rest and said thats a good trick and said he liked that idea.

 

I drove for the GREAT PUMPKIN back in 2002 on a dedicated Wal-Mart account, well things didn't work out lasted only 2 months. In hindsight should have did OTR first before jumping on a dedicated acct. Nothing bad was put on my DAC, would like to get back into the business (preferably with Roehl ) what are my chances/ likelihood of this happening?

 

Roehl will make u go thru school again, your chances sound pretty good tho

 

Relief! Been on cpap two weeks. Doctor looked at chip today and said I had no apneas. I should be in Marshfield to start Tuesdays class. Long time coming.

Pretty soon I may be a trucker and making over a 100 grand transporting semis. lol Did you guys read that?

 

Good luck and relax!
You can always take the test again too... just saying.

 

Don't be nervous bud you will do fine the cdl instructors are cool guys

 

Good luck, just be calm, and drive... Its all good!!!

 

Good luck! I have been reading all of your posts, and this is a huge help for me as I get prepared to go. I hope you keep posting during your EVO's as well.
