    Btw, I told Jamie Millis how all the input I got on here from the driver's swayed my decision to come to Millis. Told him you all deserved a recruiting bonus. He asked if I had seen Baritone's videos.

    Just got back from BRF. Half the class drove up on Monday to pick up the items that the last class was supposed to go up for. Got in some good driver time through rush hour in Nashville. Only a week left.

    I heard they cancelled the last class doing it due to bad weather conditions.

    Started backing today. It was challenging, but not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Getting anxious to find out who my trainner will be, hopefully find out soon. 4 more days, can't wait to get out of Cartersville.

    Think his half of the class did road the second week and the other half did backing. Third week they would do backing and other half would be on the road.

    Yeah, we did road second week. We have a big class so we were split into two groups.

    Galawdog, let us know how they do the backing skills test when you get to that point, especially the blindside backing.

    The only blindside you will do is a parallel park and an offset, which aren't very hard, you can still see pretty good on both

    Ok. I was thinking of a blindside alley dock or something similar to a parking space like at a truck stop. Sometimes thats all you find.
