Thanks and yeah that dumpster is in a stupid spot

 

I swear every time I am on 71 by Trenton, OH I’m seeing trucks getting pulled over and DOTed, even at 9pm. Heavily enforced on this stretch..

 

I know what you mean. After a couple of loads that caused the truck struggle going up and down the mountains it was nice to get a light one on level ground.

 

Absolutely. It’s so nice to be able to maintain the same speed. It sucks passing someone on level ground and then doing 40mph up the hill lol..

 

My next delivery is in Ohio, and I stopped early for the night just outside the border. I have time to make the delivery, and I'd rather wait somewhere without worrying about having an inspection.

 

My second student continues to amaze. I am her third trainer no real ideas why the other 2 let her go, driving is perfect. She made that cut around Bozick like it was nothing. Her backing was horrendous though. Have to thank @keen98 took his advice and spent a couple hrs a few days in a row having her back in parking lots. Her back at Bozicks second warehouse was almost flawless.

 

Its just all about repetition man. The more they do it over and over suddenly an epiphany happens out of nowhere, and they get it. The more they get to do it they start to get a better understanding on wtf that trailer is going to do.

Glad I could help, I accept payment in loves points or free roller dogs....lol

 

My very first solo load was to there but I didn't unload it there. He had me go down the street past the Walmart to another place to unload it. Fun times.

 

But it only gets better, got my license in 97 still have days where I think I am a rookie

 

Was the first one to deliver to Tobyhana pa walmart. Put it in door 100 they said. No other trailers around, looked like an idiot. Yard guy came over and said can I help you laughing his butt off. Finally got it in....good times. Sometimes the hardest back is the easiest.
