Would LOVE to buy a GOURMET dinner in Phoenix for a HUGE favor...

The way it is,... too many students and not enough trucks... and the instructors are already cranky with students that don't get it the first time... (kind of funny... I would be more wary of the ones that get it and think they KNOW SOMETHING! but that is me... there is arrogance by the OVERLOAD here and it is kind of left unchecked... )...

SO... if any of you guys is in Phoenix and is SO kind to take me shifting, or parallel parking, or offset parking or anything at all.... you name the lobster, steak, whatever...

And I wish I could do more and I will follow ALL INSTRUCTIONS and do as I am told, any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated just send me a pm...

Thank you in advance...

Thanks, I am going to be here until the 26 which is when I take the CDL test and I will be in the same situation and we have to be able to go out on traffic and do 4 right turns and out on the highway...

Plus, I would LOVE A GOOD MEAL!!!! SO if the freight throws you around here, there is a Texas Road House right around where I am staying...

 

Its all good, the instructors are under a lot of pressure too... there are a lot of trucks moving at the same time and they are supposed to have eyes coming out of eyes of the back of their heads... maybe there should be more instructors... is there room for improvement... yes!

But it is a positive experience... if you study... and NOT for the faint of heart...

Where I DO BELIEVE there needs something to be done is setting the RECORD STRAIGHT with some of the super truckers that I have in my class... I do not know if it is like that in EVERY CLASS, but this 20 something man children walk around talking loud and because straight line backing and minimal maneuvers came "easier" to them than to others WELL... I guess this is why CRE has no problem leasing trucks to newbies... I could make 6 sales out of my class and I am a lousy salesman... I pity the mentors.

 

They ARE helpful to the people who asks for help... and I DO ask for help in a professional and INSISTENT manner... it has made me one of their "favorites" and I get a lot of ribbing, but I did not come here to be friended in Facebook and their opinion of me... "put in the eval as a PASS, please" on the first TRY, REGARDLESS...as you have been doing since day one...Thank youuuuuuuu.

 

I am very fortunate that I found the TTR when I began THINKING about trucking WAY BACK in NOVEMBER since then, I researched companies and picked SWIFT as a starter company and their school is what I expected INCLUDING this situation which could be better but is NOT terrible...

I already have a mentor lined up who LOVES to MENTOR and runs SUPER SOLO, but I have to make sure I graduate by the 28th and don't get held back due to lack of practice... which does happen... I'll make do...

and try to bribe truckers with GOOD FREE FOOD for some extra practice... lets see what happens...
