    I was gonna go up there and practice but it was like 90degrees and humid, so I'm in the hotel room. I may go to a third party and pay out of pocket if I don't like the state testers. I figure the state makes it harder than it needs to be ill keep studying... Properly secured, all nuts and bolts present not bent cracked or broken.... Electrical is no abrasion bulges or cuts. Over and over is how we are being taught, I talked to a recent graduate yesterday said the woman testing him was playing on her phone while testing him. She failed him cause she wasn't paying attention when he done his break test

    And the second tester he had didn't want him to quote the book he wanted it in his own words. So IDK what will happen

    The backing range is giving me some trouble, I can't back that good. Hopefully I catch on to it soon. I got 3 more days.friday starts our driving time. The instructor is being very patient with us all. He's a great instructor.

    Like Bill told us "steer towards your problem!" If your trailer is getting too close to something then steer towards it in the mirror and it corrects itself

    I do that and I get away from the problem but I'll have the trailer on the other side of the obstacle. I'll ask for some one on one time tomorrow. I really want to get this backing mastered, I sure don't want to get sent home.
     
    RS730 Thanks this.
