Pinellas Technical College

Thank you sir. I did work hard for it, #### right I am going to honor and respect it and this beast I have learned how to operate.

I have been watching your videos as I have downtime, keep them coming. Once I get in a truck and get settled I plan to start a video series ... not sure about what just yet. It might just be me rambling about nonesense .... I am sure someone will find it entertaining.

 

I am not to sure right now. I am going to give it go on T-Mobile to start. I have a friend with Verizon who is willing to activate a device for me if need be.

 

So today is done. My classmate called out sick today so it was just me. I got all the miles for the day.

I drove 235 for the day. We left our yard and headed South and went across the Skyway and headed to 75 South. We exited at 674 and headed East. We turned left on 37 and headed to 60 and turned right. We were on 60 for a while and turned left onto 27. We were going to take a break at the Pilot in Frostproof but it was full at 11am so we went on. We went to the brand new Loves just North of I-4 on 27. While there we did some back maneuvers and held up traffic .... I pissed off some drivers ... hope none are here .... .

I did a couple of backs there and then we headed out and went West on I-4. We stopped at the Rest Area near Polk City for lunch. We them headed into Lakeland and did some "exploring". Mary saw a new warehouse without a tenant with some nice shiny docks for me to do some practice backing practice .... so we did some different angles and backing. We left some rubber on the brand new concrete. .

We then got back on I-4 and headed toward Tampa amd got on I-275 and took her on home. We got back a little late but it was overall a good day.

I still have a little work to do. I have been entering turns a little fast ... I need to slow down before I get to far. Also I am not looking far enough into the future ... instead of 15 to 18 seconds I am looking 5 to 10 seconds.

I was told other than those two things ... which will come with time and practice ... I will be successful if I were to graduate today.

Tomorrow hopefully my classmate will show up. We are going on a different trip tomorrow and Wednesday then Thursday we have some paperwork to do .... YUCK!

 

Before this trucking thing I worked for Walt Disney World .... AND grew up right off I-4 in Plant City, FL.
