I'll be heading there on Sunday as well. I leave at 11 am from Albuquerque. Pretty excited. I tried getting my permit here. Got every question right on the general knowledge AND air brakes... but I screwed up on the combination vehicles part because coupling/uncoupling wasn't in my manual... So mad... Not looking forward to the 19 hour bus ride with nothing to do... Pretty excited to get there though.

 

look at post #168 but its also a good idea to read the first couple pages of the thread as well to give you a better idea of what youll be looking at.

You can store your clothes at the end of your bed. Thats what I did. I had a couple bags of stuff, It worked out good.

 

No worries, everything will be fine. The only truck driving I had ever done is on Grand Theft Auto 3. I killed a deer on that simulator. I also rolled a trailer while flying up an on ramp in high reverse. I later found out that we don't use high reverse. And then of course we don't back up on ramps either. Not yet anyway. But if that situation ever comes up where I need to back up an on ramp at a high rate of speed at least I've had some practice at it.

 

LOL I bet that went over well rusty lol

 

I can add a dog to that list came out of nowhere
