I am starting Dec 30th.

Most are patient. I can think of only one that isnt. We called him Chihuahua because he was always nipping at your heels...

 

I couldnt agree more! The trainer is there to help you learn the skills that are needed. Take advantage of that and learn all that you can.

Neither of my two trainers would let me back up. It was always "We are in a hurry. You can back up at the next dock" but the next dock never came around. I failed my backing test when going into grad. I passed it the next day though. Once on the road there was only one time that I couldnt get into a hole. It was at a truck stop and that was because another truck was in the way and I couldnt get my nose to swing enough.

Pratice makes perfect!
