    Exactly right. Lose the drama, drive the truck. It's a machine, make it do what you want it to do.

    NO GUTS, NO GLORY,,,however, we tend to forget, it is mighty intimidating. I had the luxury(?) of starting with pickup trucks, and worked my way up to semis. Today, it's entirely possible to go from a Prius to a Freightliner,,,in just a few weeks.
    Now, I could be like my old man, who practiced "negative reinforcement", "You are nothing but a screwup, and won't amount to anything", and it was supposed to make you try harder to disprove the old man, then he felt validated. We found out, that wasn't the best policy.

    You’ll do just fine, especially when you see how some of these cowboys drive.

    They teach Manual at Stevens. So no, no automatic for the CDL test. Though I want one afterwards.

    I ate the pie, but now I want ice cream. ;)
