    Sounds about right we had to drop our trailer to be able to fuel so not massive and a total dump I avoided like the plague.

    You have a crappy trainer.
    However,
    You are at the controls. Never push a bad situation. If your not sure, stop. Take a few minutes to evaluate, take a few hours if you need to.
    One of the aspects of trucking is making good decisions.

    One of the aspects of being a man is owning your mistakes, and not crawfishing away from them.

    Just say you F up, hit the guard rail, anything else is BS.

    While your out with that fat tub of monkey spunk, stop and wake him up when your in a difficult situation.

    What did you learn?

    1) Own your mistakes.
    2) Don't rely anyone except yourself.
    3) Nobody gives a F, so CYA at all times.
    4) Take your time always. ALWAYS.
    5) Smooth is fast. Smooth comes with much practice.
    6) Never, ever, worry about what anyone thinks about you. F them and the horse they rode in on.

    That dude is a piece of work for putting you in that situation to be sure, but at the end of the day, it is your responsibility.

    Just always take your time, never push a bad situation.

    No video game here, we play for keepsies.
