I'm finished with the trainer, he told the boss im ready to go by myself. It was a great experience a little stressful at times with trainer yelling but thats over now. Trainer taught me how to float gears upshifting no clutch. Also hit first two docks with no trouble. I still need some work on downshifting exspecially at slower speeds in city. I get my own truck next week when the other driver moves to more local runs. I am excited. I drove 10 hours straight from Mayfield Kentucky to Warren MI with no heat. It got darn right cold in the truck but kept me alert. I will be running OTR east coast and as far west as Loredo Texas. Sleeping in cab is another issue but hopefully i will get used to it.![]()
