Huge setback!

my dad had lasik about a yr ago

 

Horrible handicap out here on the road. In fact my million plus miles without an at fault or preventable is total and complete luck. I guess it is possible my depth perception may have contributed to a 4 wheeler losing it in a snowstorm and bouncing off my tandems... Both sets of tandems. Either that or his speed and bald tires.

No it's not a handicap in my driving or safety and ill explain in detail. See it makes me have to do the very thing you are supposed to do... Get out and look. Btw, try that during backing test results in a failure. It's not an issue driving down the road because I'm not dealing with trying to judge a distance of objects as small as an orange cone viewed with a mirror. Any more questions?

 

Do you or any family members know any local owner operators? Lots of truckers
in the Ohio area. Might be able to get some extra training for the next six months
and help you get more experience. A lot of drivers starting driving for farmers, then
moved into industry from there. Might be another source for additional honing of
your backing skills. It was mentioned by others in your thread about getting
your license in another state, then transferring it to Ohio. The reason I mention
this is because there are companies who will train you themselves and help you
get your CDL through them. There's usually a time commitment to them for
this, but it's another option. I believe Prime does this very thing. They are out
of Springfield, Mo. Might be worth a call to ask some questions if you don't want
to wait the six months. Just thinking outside the box so to speak......good luck,
and don't give up. Lots of experienced drivers out here, myself included, that
have backing issues under the right circumstances......mostly when tired in my
case. Ohio's test sounds pretty tough, don't be discouraged!

 

Mission failed. Not everyone can be a super trucker like yourself right out of the womb.

 

Once I get ‘humble’ I’ll be perfect.
Of course it's hard to be humble since I’m perfect in every way. I like looking in the mirror each morning 'cos I get better looking each day.



Shamelessly hacked from Mac Davis.

 

Do you have relatives in another state that's more human friendly? Use their address and test there.

 

JERK !!

 

Dude that's terrible.

16,000 miles to get to that conclusion.

You should have seen the ### I made of myself hooking up a set today, after 10 YEARS! Self awarded failure trophy.

Hope you reach a successful conclusion with all the HELPFUL advice on here.

 

On the subject of "compromised" depth perception...

I admire your honesty, but seriously can't believe you can't see just how wrong that is.
You admit to your million+ "safe" miles being pure luck, and even say in your very next statement... "I guess it is possible my depth perception may have contributed to a 4 wheeler losing it in a snowstorm and bouncing off my tandems... Both sets of tandems. Either that or his speed and bald tires".

Yet then you say... "No it's not a handicap in my driving or safety and ill explain in detail."
You've got to be kidding me. Not a handicap?

Edited: Remainder deleted cuz I realized it was too critical & I have a case of PMS or sumptin' for some reason today.
