    Company sponsored training over. We lost one sadly, bad driving habits learned in that Chicago madness. Honestly it was pretty brutal time wise at 3 weeks total when you're reflecting too hard on where you're screwing up. Do i wish i had gone to a driver school or technical college at $5-$7.5 grand. Nope!

    Backing, offset ok, 90 alley finally getting it. Parallel got on 1st attempt but focused back to 90 where i was failing. Parallel suffered with me consistently nicking the front car cone to keep truck in the box and off the sidewalk.

    Real world i'm confident i'll be ok and not too big of a p.i.t.a. to the trainer. Rain drops on convex mirrors suck and my nephew was like, "duh, turn the mirror heaters on..."

    Pretty happy overall as i would still be waiting to get into a school. Driver sponsored school with a fair contract is the way to do it! Now just trying to keep that knowledge and driving skill at the forefront so i can get off of this CDL learners next week!
