welcome devildawg. I hope my thread has answered some questions you may have been having. If you want to ask anything i am always nearby to answer. you can even message me if you need anything answered.

 

Okay day 10 is over. instead of classroom videos and textbook crap we went out over the road again. this time we went into Kentucky and Indiana and back to Ohio. For some reason when i drive we always hit road construction and then some idiot tries to meet my front bumper. I woke everyone up by hitting the brakes to avoid some idiot in an astro van that wanted to be in the same lane as me. It was pretty smooth on my drive since it was mostly highway. I did 97 miles today. My trip stopped in Memphis Indiana at a truck stop. I think it was loves but i am not sure. We had a couple dumb moves like Brian running a stop sign and Jeff almost shifting on some tracks again we call that a Jeffery. Had Dave stall it out in front of Trenton terminal this morning too. It was good times and we laughed so much today. Get to do it all again on Monday. I cant wait. Only one week left.

 

took some more pictures. not too many this week since we were out driving but i got to see Bill's huge #### in the last picture. Took a shot of the new training truck that we arent driving. Also got a shot of a bait shop. not sure what kind of bait they use there but i would not like to see the fish it catches.

 

Day 11 done. Once again we were out driving. Had to be back at 9 so Butch's student could test out. I found out today that I will be his next student. He seems like a great guy. I am stoked. I drove good again today through more construction. Had a peterbuilt try to get into my lane when he was getting on the highway from the ramp. I was calm and just looked at him like he was a #######. Tomorrow is more of the same and I think we are taking a trip to buffalo later this week so that should be fun. I will keep you updated. Stay safe

 

Day 12 gone. Waited until last to drive today. Got to drive in a bit of everything including some other side of the road action when I had to go around an accident. Once again I had a dumb driver try to go around me on an on ramp and I couldnt get over for his 4 wheel ###. Almost took him under the trailer. Why are people so.stupid?
