Pinellas Technical College

I "often" go out of route personally; sometimes we have our reasons, situational! That's excellent tho, man. Eh on the recap.... no biggie. Happy for ya!

 

She told me she had it ready Monday afternoon BUT my classmate was not done with his yet ... she did not want to give it back until she had his. She trusts me but did not want it out there incase he were to get his hands on it as it would give him an unfair advantage.

 

Just wanted to quickly interject that it is legal to exceed the 14 On Duty Line 4 and that it is also legal to exceed the 70 hour clock on Line 4 On Duty.

One may only drive legally within the 70 hour 11 hour 14 hour and 8 hour mandatory break constraints.

In other words the only limitations apply to driving time nothing else on the logs.

 

I know they told you not to watch youtube backing videos but this one I did is certified OK to watch by many current truckers who thanked me for it was a great learning tool.

 

Thanks for the share. I watched that video and you make some excellent points. I subscribed to your channel as well ... will definately check out your other videos too!

 

I did make a couple mistakes in the video where I said steer to the right or left and was actually doing the opposite on film.

 

Eh ... it happens. But drivers should know if you want your trailer to go left you steer to the right, if you want it to go right you steer to the left. That is one of the basics of backing a trailer.

 

Quick update while on break ... I passed my Skills Test this morning. I got blind side offset, straightline and conventional parallel. I killed a cone on the parallel but other than that I nailed it. About to head out on the mean streets of St. Petersburg and Pinellas County again to prepare for the road test which is next Thursday. If Inpass that I will get my certificate to obtain my CDL.

Will be back this afternoon with a full day recap.

 

Back for lunch and I made an observation. This guy is walking up to the CDL office because he has a test scheduled .... dude is wearing freaking flip flops .... really?! Needless to say they sent him right back out the door and told him to not come back until he had on the proper foot wear.

 

Look at these professional drivers, all 6 wearing flippy flops
