    u went to maines in conklin? my batteries went south n we were in gary to have them tested. they ended up replacing them. I told them that my student would probably give u a hug since they were only lasting 4 hrs. sounds like ur getting the hang of it. when ur confidence level goes up u can put that trailer anywhere

    Yeah, I'm getting more confident everyday. Today my instructor had me practice more 90 degree backing and i did a whole lot better than the first time I tried. Still need to work on it though. I am getting everything down overall rather well though.

    Sorry haven't had good data connection on my phone much so haven't been updating much. On Wed we picked up a load in Lexington, MI. We dropped that load off at Fishers, IN. Thursday morning. Then we picked up a load in Indianapolis, IN for a delivery in Memphis, TN friday night. Our next load to be picked up isn't until Sunday Morning here in Memphis then we head to Suwanee, GA to unload. Once we get to Suwanee and find a place we are going to park at I will be practicing my backing.

    I know its been a while. A little update, I'm at walmart distribution in Washington CH. Been doing a lot better on my backing. My trainer says I got this and will start running things next week. Then I'll be able to eval out. I agree, I got this!

    Sweet! I guess I am gonna start seeing a Maverick TCD Truck parked at the Meijers about every other weekend then, huh? That means there will now be 3 Mavericks there LOL! Another newbie (Sarge's latest graduated student) lives in Tipp and parks there too now.
