Finally getting started with Millis.

They were super patient with us on the range, they know we're there to practice, practice and practice some more. One guy couldn't shift to save his life at first and he ended up getting it down cold by the second or third day. Just ending my first day out with my trainer, having a good time out here for sure

 

Dude u are not going to master backing in school trust and believe me on that u just need the basics john is a good dude I still have days where I can't back to save my life then I have days where I put it in holes I didn't think I could don't beat urself up follow johns instructions ulll be good

 

I'm working with him today on it. It's hard I was watching YouTube videos on backing last night, those truck stop spots are pretty tight. Guess I'll learn soon how to get it in.

 

Dont watch YouTube videos on backing!!!!! Just listen to the instructor you will be fine. Those youtube videos will get you all fd up

 

I listened to him, he said put the trailer in the hole, I did. I'm getting the hang of it. I've been told by all the old school truckers, turn towards the problem, that's not always the best thing to do. And don't make big adjustments until your sure it's the right way to turn making smaller adjustments has helped me alot. I did both my offsets and only had to do 1 pull-up.

 

YouTube videos helped me...and a toy tractor trailer ull get it be patient with yourself yea some truck stops are tighter than others but eventually its just kind of like w.e just another back BUT NEVER. I repeat NEVER let anybody rush. You at the truck stop just because THEY are in a hurry don't mean YOU need to get into a hurry start rushing start crushing

 

You are regional right? What all states do you run? I'm thinking about changing my papers from otr to regional because I don't feel like I want to deal with Chicago new York and new Jersey.

 

Yes im regional I did otr my first 8months here Chicago and new York is not that bad you get used to it regional we have atlanta to deal with it all depends what your looking for and what works for you

 

I could deal with Atlanta, and the home time would be better. I'm sure they will let me switch after training.

 

U can switch now tell john were home for a 34 I actually liked otr home time better but my wife n kids prefer regional
