    OOk...I ain't gonna lie..today sucked ###..cold as hell..back up over and over and over..and when not stright backing having to walk back and forth...my body hurts from head to toe..lol..the range instructors are ok..nothing like JV..these guys are old school truckers and don't mince words..very knowledgable though and I can tell they have a lot to teach...at the end of the day they threw me for a loop on the log book stuff, but I think I got a handle on it now..instead of making the log look like a pumpkin, we are dding together all the little 15 minute drive times and on duty not driving times and making them one chunk..everyone seemed to catch on the the backing fairly quickly with the exception of just a couple..hopefully they get it tomorrow..I believe I got a 5 out of 6 on my assesment..trainer said I did very wellwell..anyway..

    Don't give up, pal! It may seem tough at the beginning, but it will pay off VERY well in the end!

    PLEASE keep us posted on how things go. [I'm supposed to get re-scheduled this next thursday, since I missed class this week *kicks his car for breaking down on the way in*.]

    yeah you'll be leaving I will be arriving. I kinda was looking forward to driving in cold weather with mentor, so I have the advantage of watching a seasoned pro during the most loathed weather and to drive in it with support is great for me. I hate cold weather, point blank period. As do most ppl. But when u add rain... it just makes for misery. Hopefully the weather will get better soon. Sometimes when we r trained in the more vigorous conditions it makes us better. Have a grt day bbm.

    Started some fun stuff this afternoon..right turns on the dirt track..lol..gotta do an offset and a 90, hopefully I get a chance to do it a few times in the light, drive time is hard to get due to the number of students, hope I can get the 35 hours needed to move on.
