<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Six9GS, post: 9483159, member: 102286&quot;]Day 6. Stuck in Houston waiting for a load. I&#039;m up to 2250 miles and have &#039;conquered&#039; 2 big ##### bridges I had feared before. The one on I10 in Baton Rouge and the other on I10 outside Lake Charles. Both were done with light to moderate traffic and neither was the bug-a-boo I had feared. I&#039;ve driven over these bridges in regular vehicles several times and thinking about driving them in a loaded rig, well, made me apprehensive. Fortunately, they were not anything like I feared. I just took them slow and easy (not too slow as to bacome a traffic menace).</p><p>Anyway, so far, so good. We dropped our trailer this morning. Unfortunately, they didn&#039;t have an empty for us, so we are currently bob-tailing it and parked at a Pilot off Loop 610 in the East side of Houston. I grew up in these parts. But, only when I was a kid and long before I drove anything but a bicycle. Moved away in the early 70&#039;s.</p><p>A bit ago, I was able to watch an experienced driver back into a tight spot and I was impressed and thankful to watch him. He just methodically walked his trailer where he needed it. He must have pulled up about 20 times getting it to where he wanted/needed it. He never got frustrated, never got in a hurry, just worked it in until it fit where and how he wanted it. Hope I can do it like that someday!!! Right Now, kind of hit or miss. I think my trainer and I are going to be specifically practicing different backs and such next week sometime. I did get kind of lucky dropping our trailer earlier today. I just happened to get it pretty close right out of the gate, so to speak, and it looked like I am much better than I actually am at this point. But, I&#039;ll take it!</p><p>Hope all are having a marvy time out there!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
