    A little nerves aren't a bad thing, I'm more worried about the guys that get out of training and know everything.

    Take your time but be confident. Vigilance is key, hesitance and second guessing yourself is not.


    Just remember to pull out...of the dock ;) (had to keep the trend going lol)

    Everyone is nervous the first time.

    The first time behind the wheel. The first time down the mountain grade. The first time in a whiteout. The first time on ice. The first time in Canada. The first time in the Territories. The first time seeing a tornado.

    Nervous? Sure. Scared? Perhaps. Cowardly? Never.

    I was nervous, it's normal. You are in the same boat we all were once. Just take it one step at a time. Trip plan, Google maps it and give yourself 30 minutes or so of extra time. Google maps your route and a route to get back in case you miss the gate.
