Getting Nervous

You can do it... have faith

 

Save your nervousness for the time when you graduate and get a job, and go down the grades in Colorado your first time.

By the time you graduate, will be when??

If just before winter, I can guarantee you that YOU WILL have all the windows open and the A/C blasting, even if the outside temps are what, 30 degree's????

 

That's what the training is for. To teach you to drive... you'll be fine. If you doubt youself, jut visit your local truckstop and take a good look at the drivers. You will see people of all ilks and you then ask yourself if they have some remarkable quality that sets them apart from you, or are they just people with training you don't have yet.

You'll be fine, just keep your head in the game.

 

Yeah, my brother was saying that being a little bit nervous (not to the point of paralysis) is a good thing as it heightens your senses and forces you to concentrate on everything, that other, seasoned drivers may get lax about.

 

Zoltan1a I too am heading to training in less than a month, I am getting very nervous too. I am going with Millis, Roehl was on the top of my list also. I wish you all the luck.

 

Relax, you'll find your own comfort zone. Once you're there do not let anyone push you out of that felling. Just pay attention in school and ask questions. At night it would be a good idea to write down your notes from the day. If it were me all over again I would have a laptop and a Word and Excel program to list all the information I could. From good truck stops and cheap fuel to all the inspection points on the truck. I'd keep a history of items that do not come up every day like a turbo seal going out to road construction. What a tool compared to what we had 20 years ago.
