My Central Thread

Well we cant go more than what the truck will pull the trailer at idle. When in the yard we are not allowed to use the gas they don't want us having an accident in the yard so its just first an revers without the gas pedal.

 

So today they took us out to rookie road to teach us how to up shift with double clutch. Didn't do to bad with that. I was grinding a bit and missed gears but slowly got the hang of it. Then went back out to the yard for more backing practice. I only got to go through the sequence once. Did straight back, parallel, and off set. I nailed it all the way around. Now just need to do that for the test and I will be all set. We went through the A.L.E test a couple of times and then after class I took a couple of the guys back out to the yard to help them with their P.T.I and A.L.E. They seem to have gotten it after I went over it with them so just have to wait for Wednesday to do it for real.

 

They did not need help, they just wanted to hang out with a single female.
But hey, whatever works.

 

LOL What CD said..

 

Your probably right about that. Today it was the same thing. One of the guys asked me to watch him do the pre-trip and tell him if he missed anything and go back over it with him. I also got a chance to talk to Jasko and Cutter they are doing their permit tests tomorrow. I think they will do well though.

 

I know I am right about that.
I may be getting old lately, but if I was single I would probably do the same thing.
Some younger women like old guys lol.

 

I will agree with you on that. A lot of men think exactly the same way. I don't really care though. I'm all good.

 

It is all in fun most of the time.
Some just take it too far.
My wife thinks it is funny when I flirt with casher's, wait staff and others. Normally they are all much older than I am, and flirt back.
It is just a fun way to pass the time.
Crossing that line is another thing, and knowing where that line is.

 

Well I know I said it in the Central Ref truck stop but I thought I would post it here too. I passed all my test. I get my soft copy of my cdl on Monday have orientation for 3 days then out with my trainer. I am excited and can't wait. Again if I run into you out on the road CD (Not literally run in to you lol) I want to at least offer to buy you a coffee. You have been an awesome help on these forms.

 

Congrats on pasing Smurfette! Keep us updated on the orientation process! Be safe out there. The weather is heading your way from Cali.
