    I never did it either, until that time. I have always driven Freightliners, and that first time in the KW I couldnt see DIDDLY! So I opened the door. I have since figured out that if I raise my seat (I drive to the floor) I can lean out and see a little better....

    Now driving on the floor is a habit of mine. I guess in the morning I will see what its all about in orientation. My instructor is Charles Cozart, I guess he is an ok guy? Only thing I see I will need help with is coils and tarps, have never delt with either.

    if you're able to reason and figure things out, then you'll have no problem. I did my orientation in Sunnyvale, so i dont know anything about that dude.

    and just remember, raise the seat before backing ;)

    Thanks Noggin, I guess it's time to get myself together and get ready for the first day. And yes I will raise my seat :biggrin_25514:, thanks.
