You can correct that on the Qualcomm. You can edit your logs.

Lol gotcha. I saw that after I posted. This site is kinda buggy. I had one alert, but there were 10 posts. I just looked at that one post and responded. I love this forum but this is like technology similar to the mid-80's chat boards. Crimany. We aren't living in the era of Commadore 64s anymore. Or Vic 20s if anyone here is old enough to remember those.

 

Lol yup I was a fan of that

 

I wish I had applied my love for computers into something back then, instead of just playing Raid Over Moscow for hours on end lol. Or some other ridiculous distraction.

 

This is one aspect of training I'll never understand. If you are going to be a trainer, you need to be able to put yourself in the mindset of a brand new driver. You need to be able to remember your first days in the truck. Here's the honest truth... you will absolutely become more aggressive as you gain experience. But if you can't mentally shut that off for the benefit of a student, you aren't correctly executing your position. I remember being pushed in the mountains to go faster. Are you kidding me??? C'mon man, you can do that to a student. My car weighs a couple thousand pounds, and I've been driving cars since I was 13. A semi pulling a trailer full of beer is not the same animal. Do i drive fast through the mountains now? Yup. But at my comfort level. I still get passed by plenty of super truckers. But I'm also passing plenty of cautious drivers. It's all about comfort and knowledge of your vehicle. I played with my steer stops, so my truck turns a little sharper. Therefore I gotta watch turns on downgrades because I have a higher rollover risk. It's all about common sense and knowing your truck and your skill level. He should know better than to push you right now. That ain't cool at all.
