Going for the Gold!

Sigh an double Sigh. Passed 2 outta 3 backing...now hafta wait a week, hopefully no more, and go back. I am not as down as I usually would be, cept for the money wasted for a week of motel somewhere else, so I guess that's a step in the right direction.
Thanky my friends.

 

Thanks Olbwan...lol. I am gonna git this withoutta doubt. I probably need Nanas stick to drum it into this ol head. I think it was the TEST word...hmmm that is a 4 letter word.

 

Yeppers...tho I have never heard the term before today...but I did my straight back 0 points did my offset 0 pts...then blew the alley dock totally. What was weird is my instructor scored the first two and then another instructor, who I am nervous around anyway, scored the alley. I dont know if that was what threw me or what but it could have been.
Anyway I can go back if they get an empty space on the 25th and go forward from there.
It was also weird cause I thot I was relaxed because we had a wonderful time earlier in the morning driving and my instructor was really please with my shifting and driving.
Oh well...I am woman hear me back lol

 

Thanky Cookie...it is good to know I am not the only one...tho it sure feels like it. Mostly wounded pride an all...but I will know whats what up to a point and I should have the same instructor so indeed I hope to be more relaxed and be able to ace that crazy test lol. After all I wouldnt want to have a couple of trucks next to me an keep banging into em so I can put mine in the hole lol...might wake em up...but hey I have the Swifty logo so who knows. j/k

 

Lol I wish I had that option Dick. My state requires me to back the 40ft into the box and put it between the two cones in the back, my mirrors must be inside the line of the box. I am Idaho whereas the other peeps come from Washington, Montana and Oregon. Oregon hasta back like I do. I am allowed 2 pull ups and 2 get out and looks, without points added.
So are u saying I should not back the whole way? I believe that is a fail not a point off, least that is what I was told. Going out the back is also autofail.
In reality I shoulda passed the dang test, but seeing as I didnt I apparently need more work for the real world and I want it! Lol I could see myself not backed fully into a space either at shipper or truck stop and saying, oh the examiner excepted that can't you? I dont want to end up in a truck stop backed into another vehicle because I barely passed. Or worse yet killing someone cause I wanted to get out of school more than I wanted to get it right, ya know?
