    I will keep you posted for sure. I live in Williamsburg,ky. I get nervous about anything. I drove a kenworth rollback for a while and loved it., had no problem. I know it's not as long, but still done good. I hope I take to this pretty fast.

    usually the longer the better, my trouble trying to not get lost in the gears as far as downshifting.

    jw, for the most part i stayed out the whole time with my trainer, it kind of worked out where i did my training during dec-jan so i was with an experienced driver to get the skinny on driving in bad weather and believe me i had a few white knuckle days, i try to stay out no more than three weeks i guess you could come home weekly, but to make $$$ you have to sacrifice a little just my opinion, as far as trucks i have a 2011 T700 it only had 114,000 miles on it so its fairly new, hope this answers some of your questions
