    Day one: left Springfield,no to go to gordansville,va. Due Sunday at 1500 so time to kill. Trainers at home and I'm in a gravel lot studing per trip and this. Has me learning to shift with jakes so its easier when I test. Not doing to bad. Some hills we had to downshift and I did it. Drove 375 miles yesterday. Some of those hills on hwy60 east of springmo are quite intimidating. So far so good.

    Depend. I'm in a kw t680. But freightliner cascadias and petes. All 10sp. Btw, prep lab has us going up i64 through West Virginia. How is the hills there. Been fine on the others but I think nerves are/were getting to me as I have been having trouble eating. Otherwise no problems.
