First of all,
Welcome to The Trucker's Report Tommy. I think you're gonna like it here. You're correct about catching on, it does take a little while and a bit of effort to acquire the knack for conversing in the written word. Without facial expressions or body language to aid in the communication makes it interesting, --- and rather rewarding when you realize you can read and feel the emotion and personality of other posters. Until I started posting in Big truck related web sites about twelve years ago, I didn't realize that was possible.
There are a lot of great posters here, and they come here for many reasons.
Me?
I come for the entertainment and stimulating conversation(s). While doing so, it seems that folks who came here to research and learn find my ramblings and digressions to be helpful. I consider that to be icing on a triple chocolate fudge cake. What impresses me a bunch is how the powers that be TTR are adamant that information being dispensed here be accurate. At the same time, the same powers that be TTR insist that everyone has a right to their own opinion(s), --- as long as said opinion, or theory, isn't presented as fact. Respect for others is expected from all, to all, all the time, --- which really isn't too difficult, and prevents TTR from becoming like CH 19 on the CB radio.
A couple-0-words of caution though, --- TTR, like OTR, can get into your blood and be difficult to get out. If something prevents you from posting for a day or so, you'll get that incomplete feelin', --- somethin's missin' --- your daily 'fix of TTR. When you log on feelin' like that, once in, it's like sittin' in a comfortable easy chair in a room full of friends with like interests. What's here to read is entertaining and educational, and all made possible because of folks like yourself who have answers lookin' for questions and are glad to provide the connection.
Above all else, it's imperative that you have fun along the way.
Do you mean the bottles of Aftershock adult beverage?
Actually, I became AfterShock, (Shakey AfterShock), before I was aware that there was such a product. However, to this day, I still haven't sampled it. If I decide to take a few swallows, do you want I should give you a holler to join me?

Road test is pretty standard. Its about a 30 minute test drive with all the basics. Right turns, left turns, highway driving, city driving, backing test, hooking and unhooking etc..
One thing about Knight is the super extensive physical!
Overall I think they are fairly decent company to drive for. -
The Denver terminal had me drive around the block. The tester, usually a yard dog driver, will know immediately whether or not you know what you are doing.

HI after shock how are ya guy?

but still above ground, --- sittin' over here lookin' like this, ................ wishin' I was sittin' over thar, lookin' like that.

(But not from Minnesota )
How 'bout you? -
lol when i was asked to give a road test to a new hire when i worked for knight in columbus i would have the driver go to the pilot about 1 mile away fill up my truck and go back. they said that was sufficient so thats all i did.
