    Clutch? Whats a clutch?:biggrin_25521: I only use the thing to start and stop and have for years. During my test many, many, moons ago I didn't use it and the tester took off points for it once. He told me that since I wasn't grinding the gears he would only deduct the 5 points once, he did require me to show him that I did at least know how to double clutch though.

    You will have to push them a little.......I'm sure of that. Especially when they made those comments, when you requested home time. How far out of route did he have to go, to drop you off?

    He is dedicated, he just dropped me off at the bus stop. Interesting: my paycheck did not arrive today (they claim it was mailed Friday) and the weekend may be the soonest I can get a trainer.

    I guess just enjoy your family and maybe study for your HAZ-MAT, if you dont already have it? Not sure if USA does HAZ-MAT, but might be useful down the road.

    They don't require it, but they will re-imburse up to $93, so I need to get on it. In Upstate NY, we're expecting a TON of snow (4-8" on Tuesday and 12-20" on Wednesday), so there won't be much else to do.

    I'm not trying to tell you what to do, just thinking of things you can do that will help you get that local job. Be safe

    Sorry if it came out wrong, but I was agreeing with you. I definitely need to study for HazMat. Thanks for the advice!
