    Grats Wyld!!!!!! You did good girl! Now the fun begins :biggrin_2559: Hubby says to remind you to make copies of EVERYTHING! And always double check your pay. He had a bunch of scale tickets he didn't get paid for since no one mentioned he wasn't turning them in correctly. He is finally getting paid for them tho, but keep copies!

    Will do! Thx...Hubby is really good at keeping the records. They still dont have a team truck for us an we are in Phoenix AZ! Our ol girl has over 596k on her an is coughing pulling a heavy load up the bigger grades. Sure dont want to run her into the ground but we have nothing else. Dm today said she had a newer one for us..then qualcomed us an said she was misinformed..sigh. Par for the course. We dont get excited anymore over stuff like that cause usually it doesnt happen.
    Thanks for the post Cookie, hope all is well with you an yours
    Luv you gys

    Congrats Lady! First off start a thread here when ya can an update us when possible. Believe me I wouldnt have been able to go on many times if not fer the encouragement an prayers of these crazy friends.
    Has yer hubby started you on memorizing pretrip?
    Other than that the backing as you read in my previous posts was my hard point. My Hubby told me for straight back...if ya want yer trailers hinny out of one mirror ..turn yer wheel into that mirror, slightly lol. Same with other mirror.
    The alley dock was a lot harder for me...Vickie, one of my instructors finally said something that clicked, but believe me it was a long struggle. Hopefully you will do great. I also got a lil tractor/trailer toy an played with it. If ya can get a remote control, one with a wheel to steer with, an set it up in front of a mirror an reverse it that way it really helps also.
    Sorry bout spouting off lol. I guess other than that the tests were hardest on me cause I am built that way lol.
    Is yer hubby gonna mentor ya? Mine did, worked out oky for the most part lol.
    Heyas Nana...I was in Phoenix..now in Minnesota lol..will be in Ca on the 13th..guess ya gots ta catch me quick. Hope yer arm is healing an Hubby also!
    Luv you gys

    Yep - we started a thread -->HERE<-- and Klingon gave me copies of all of his school stuff - so I've been reading/studying it - WOW, lots of stuff to know :biggrin_25521: I've done some backing before - but we are talking pickup truck and car trailer - not a 53' long thing!! I hear tell though its 'easier' because it doesn't 'react' as quickly - so you are able to correct it easier. I sure hope so!!

    Not sure if I will be able to 'train' with Klingon - not sure if I want to. Not because I doubt his skills - but this way (him being trained by one person, me being trained by another) I mght get some info he didn't and visy versy. FIRST though I have to get through the school :biggrin_25525:
