    Well I just finished my third week. So far the trainers are pretty nice and backing up in a pain.:biggrin_25525: I got the straight back easily enough, but trying to do a slight turn around cones and straighten the truck out without going out side the line.:biggrin_2555: shifting is pretty easy down shifting is bit tricky but i am getting that, though they seem to have given me the harder truck to shift in but it does turn easier:)

    Anyway i have having trouble finding threads with some backing instructions, anyone got a link to one they remember?? thanks :biggrin_25525:

    There is a thread titled "backing up" in this section. You can just click on my name, click on find all posts by, then go way back I think on page 5 or so. Or do it the easy way! Be happy to kick it around again if you have specific question or comment. Have fun!

    Well looks like i do not have to worry about it anymore lol. I got a letter in the mail saying my right to have a commercial operators license is under suspension in Nevada. Little story i got pulled over and arrested for a dui chemical charge, though nothing showed up on my blood report so i ended up flying back out to las vegas twice and was told it was dropped. So i got on my marry way. Come to find out yesterday it was never dropped and my lawyer never showed up to another case and i never heard anything about it. So far as i know my chance at a cdl for now is shot, might be able to get my class B we shall see. really odd how you can lead a very straight and normal life and something like this comes up making you feel like a criminal:biggrin_2554: Hell never had a warrent out for me before in a state:biggrin_25520:
