I will be starting Con-way TL November 15th!

We aren't staying at the college. We are staying at a hotel. The equipment is a 2004 Kenworth T2000.

 

Day three was the toughest day thus far and I am still here. We had to do a range test which had 12 obstacles on it and we had to get 40 out of 120 points possible. It was things that you would do in real life, like getting on a scale, left turn, bumpers front and back on a line, offset alleys, right turn, and moving in between objects. Take my word for it it is harder than it sounds considering the fact the if you hit anything you go home. So, there is some pressure on you. Once everyone has finished you practice the 45 degree alley dock. Then you take a commentary drive which was a lot of fun.

Now we have to get up early in the morning for our night drive which starts at 3:30am.

Not really to much to say today. We did the night drive and stayed awake. Had to do a final test which was easy and came back to the hotel.

Tomorrow on other hand I will have a little more to talk about since we are doing the skid pad.

Today was a blast. The Skid pad was awesome and was a good learning experience. Then we tested on the pre-trip and 45 degree alley dock.

Tomorrow is final drive test day and last day of the boot camp session.

Today was the last day of boot camp and all of us has passed. We did a final drive ate lunch and that was it. Now I am waiting for Monday to roll around so we can finish up and start the real fun stuff as in driving on the open roads.
