    Also, they DO consider local toward the 'OTR' requirement as long as you crossed state lines. I was working out of Buffalo NY and we had a lot of pickups/deliveries in PA. I was local for 5 years when I applied and got hired here.

    Sorry! I misread your post. You're talking 6/3 not 3/2!

    You'll do fine on a 6/3.

    And if you find that you don't like it, try a different program when realignment comes around.

    You're gonna make good money on any program. You'll just make more on some.

    So, it's a matter of the greater of the betters! ;)

    I don't think 6/3 would be bad. At least you get a weekend off once in awhile

    How about shifting in intersections? Double clutching? Just want to practice getting out of my comfort zone. And I'm studying my pretrip.

    Do not shift during an intersection, be in gear making the turn. I passed everything with flying colors, except for the one stop sign, I coasted like 10 feet

    Also, he Matt, safety guy preferred floating, but if you double clutch that's fine also. Just don't grind gears

    Two things no one has mentioned. Don't do a " two finger spin" of the landing gear handle. Might not fail you, but it's one of the things they preach. Second, on the road, FOLLOWING DISTANCE. If the On Gaurd or Wing Man( which ever is in the truck you test in) ,starts to beep, back off the throttle. If someone pulls in front of you and sets it off , the safety man will see that, no problem . But if it's going off continuously, you're probably going to fail.
