    WRONG. Some things can't be taught but only learned. You should have seen my little brother taught how to swim but if he and I stood side by side and he baited my hook and I baited his he'd catch 200 fish and I'd catch rocks. You can be shown but you have to have aptitude. Height, weight yada yada. Don't matter. Can can and can't works for Swift for a bit.

    Actually I don't. My brother could catch a 500 lb tarpon in a mud puddle. I regularly fish Mosquito Lagoon, FL.
    That being said...go spit.

    Inquiring minds want to know what the name of this POS school is so others know not to waste their time and money...

    Thank you both. Quatto for writing such encouraging words (which I recognized from the start as uspeakably helpful) and thank you JV_620 for bringing my attention back to them.

    I went out and bought a toy truck the other day. It actually did help. Drawing too.

    A few drivers posted they used some computer app; Euro Truck or something like that, to practice driving.

    One questions do you get out and look? Everytime? If not DO IT you will see the truck from a new angle and see how to get it in

    Chinatown, I'll look into it. I just hate computers at this point. They've wasted so much of my life.

    Aradrox, I noticed that toward the end of my 20 hours I started getting out. My instructor would act surprised. But I excelled a bit further with my understating of what was really going on with the 5th wheel and trailer after I did. I'm going to be getting out more often this next time around.
