Chronicles of a Swift trainee

thanks everyone. its been really great. my trainer goes above and beyond to get me and the rest of us ready.

had another good day. drove almost 70 or 80 miles today. from inver grove heights, mn to plum city, wi. practiced what will be my cdl test route. aside from a few mistakes which of course i wont repeat, my trainer said i did great. he says i already have the truckers feel and my driving is beautiful my weakpoint is pretrip, which ill be devoting lots of time to. he says ill probably test on the 19th, which gives me an extra day, which im thrilled with of course.

weather says rain and sleet and snow tonight, so well be starting at noon and spending alot of time in the terminal yard pretripping and working on skills

 

thanks guys

had another good day. was a little rainy and a bit cold and foggy at the end of the day, but overall was a good day. did skills and pretrip practice. had no trouble at all with my skills, which are straight back and 45. far as i know i wouldve taken no points on them, and used the free pullup only a coupl times. skills portion should be very easy.

pretrip was a bit different. im stronger on it today than i was yesterday but i still need work. this is what ill be focusing my spare time on. was gonna bobtail back to the hotel but our trainer said ehh its pretty dense out here ya better let me drive. he said it was nothing to do with me, the fog was just too dense. visibility was bad but it was mainly around the terminal and he said he coulda let me drive, but i washappy to have some more behind the wheel time

going back to durand, wi tomorow to get some more driving practice and practice our cdl course.

 

ya.45 here isgonna be so easy
