    Man, I remember those days. The first time I got that behemoth moving and running through the gears. Literally couldn't stop smiling. Not to say this job hasn't tested my resolve many times, but every time I even think of getting a regular job again I get ill lol. Really couldn't imagine doing anything else. Good luck amigo

    Not all that exciting this evening. Did a bunch of offset backing and a couple alley docks. They did put us all through a pretrip test and I'm pleased to say I only missed 2 in 16 mins and that was with the low air light and buzzer for some reason not going off during my air brake test forcing me to start over.

    Back in the yard tonight. Learned driver's side parallel and worked some more on alley dock. Fairly pleased with my attempts. Hit the parallel all 7 times and the alley dock all 3. We finally finished the classroom portion so the next 4 weeks is all yard and road work. Ready to finish this month up and go get that test completed.

    The waiting is the worst part prior to combat.

    Congrats on your achievements thus far.

    Thx. That was the one I was most worried about. Should get plenty of practice the next 4 weeks.

    Well, next week ends my 10 week school. Can't believe we've finally reached the end. Can't wait to finish up these next 4 days and then take my test next Friday.
