Going to Roehl, have questions and need advice. I'm going flatbed.

I don't like it either, but I don't stress since its familiar now.

 

Hey guys since I am probably going to be in Gary next Monday what are my chances of getting some snow driving under my belt? I haven't been that way in years!

 

Uhm, pretty slim, lol.

 

Will they be understanding of slight screw ups? I mean my schooling was only four weeks and two of those were in a classroom. So I still grind on the downshift and I will have to get used to the wheelbase of a new truck. Also during training and with the trainer will I be driving a 2012 prostar? Because that's what they said I will be driving.

 

Its possible. Just depends on what the trainer drives.

my students all get broken in right on my rig

 

Awesome, I am just trying to keep my mind on driving and proper yeqniuqe so I don't get to rusty.

 

Yeah once you get into your own truck everything comes naturally. Don't rush ANYTHING.

I've been through 6 trucks at Roehl. Each one was different but once you get used to the way it shifts and what the truck wants then everything comes natural. Now for me shifting is as easy as breathing. I float up and down without thinking about it. I know what gear to be in for certain cargo when taking turns and what to do when I'm in a stressful situation like chicago. It'll all come to you.

Ok, I was just really worried that with my crash course training. I didn't want to get there and not pass there tests. We spent only one day on trip planning.

 

Let me just interject that 6 trucks is not normal for those of you worried you might constantly be changing trucks. It's just that for Ethan he kept totaling them so they had to keep giving him new trucks.
