Back Home After First Seven Days Out As A Solo Driver

I'm still not back to work due to family situation so catching me will be difficult. You did right thing in slowing down and turning on 4 ways. Those 2 stretches as a beginner driver are a real challenge. Even when you know the area and have driven for awhile it is a hand full to get through. 4 wheelers seem to be on a suicide mission thru the construction on 635.

 

Nice job ATX! That first time out is really stressful. The nice thing is, you got through it, and it will get easier and easier every time you go out. If you start feeling like things are getting out of control, just slow down and try to regroup. If you made it through Dallas, you really accomplished something. I was through there a few months ago and it was a real mess. Keep up the good work - it sounds like you're doing great!

 

everone complains about boston nyc nj washington
but the worst place i drive is dallas

 

I had the same observation of Dallas my first time there. They make Chicago drivers look like experts!!

 

I prefer the Dallas drivers, at least when some hits the brakes it doesn't cause a 5 mile back up, like, Chicago, Boston, NY...

 

Hi thecleaninglady, I also drive team with my husband. I am so grateful to him for teaching me how to back, I definitely lack when it comes to backing. Now, my straight backing is awesome, but if I have to do a 45 degree backing not so good. At least we are honest. Take care out there and be safe!

 

Report that trailer to maintenance, so it can be fixed, brakes need adjustment.

 

As the saying goes "if you didn't learn something out here today it's time to quit or retire". Never the same 2 days in a row.
