    Spent 7 hours or so at the terminal backing, as the days go by we are trying to find tighter and harder spots to get into. We did some blind side backing today as well.

    Only 3 more days to Go!!!!!

    OH and so this afternoon myself and like 5 other guys we at the terminal backing and Vern came over, as well as three drivers that were at the terminal and as soon as I walked over to the group of guys this guy looks right at me and says " You must be American Trucker...." I was like yea and shook his hand haha I still have NO Idea who he was lol. I know he drives for W/S but I don't know how he could have known who I was lol. It was cool either way that he knew who I was.....

    Great picts man! Congrats on your mountain experience! While you are in orientation it is getting that time of year so make sure they show you guys how to throw chains. Practice so that you have it down pat. You don't want to be on the side of the highway when it snowing and -20 trying to figure it all out. Especially if your main terminal is in MT! Good luck man!

    Right on! Just wanted to make sure. A lot of companies automatically assume you can throw chains. I think about 75% of drivers out there don't really know how to!

    Almost every W/S truck I've seen has chains hanging on it, even allot of the trailers have chains hanging underneath. I've seen allot of tutorials on Chaining so I have a pretty good idea of how to do it, But I definitely want to DO it myself a few times before I have to do it on the side of the road.....
