Driving School at DCCC Mocksville, NC

if i wasn't behind you -- i still need 1 qualifying run and the cdl road test -- i'd stay home tomorrow for that audit!!

 

today was a good day for me. 2nd run qualified. a bit of bad news, but not really important. i heard from ApplCART in boone, nc. they're the 3rd party tester for large passenger busses with air brakes. They don't have the facility to offer tests at this time, but will soon. but no date given. i was hoping to get my passenger bus endorsement at the same time as my cdl-a "just in case." well, i doubt i'd ever have used it anyway. also, it's $250.

 

we're almost done. i finished all my cdl qualifying, and got the cdl-a with tanker, hazmat and doubles/triples. monday we test on the 3 backing exercises. i have good days and bad days on backing. today was a bad day, all i could do was jack it too much, lose my mirror, and pull up again and again. i think i just about got it in the dock lengthways a few times. i over correct every time -- turn too little and i'm shallow, and then try to tighten it up and by then i'm too late to get back underneath it. i KNOW i can do it, and i KNOW what to do. i just can't seem to execute it. as i said, some days are better than others. i hope monday (test day) is a good one.

as tdriver196 has said, i highly recommend dccc.

 

well last day of practice today before the backing tests monday. tdriver196 is great at those, but i'm not as good. as everyone knows, setup is key. if i can setup correctly i can usually hit the mark, but today i had a rought time. i'm hoping it was last minute jitters. tdriver196 helped me a LOT on the alley back into 90 degree jackknife. thanks to him!!

so tomorrow is final classroom day, with exam, monday backing tests, and tuesday graduation. i received an offer from G&P that I accepted, so orentation in charlotte the following week.
