    You might be give out, you might have to give in, but you never give up. Folks are counting on you.:thumbup:
    Down through the years we truckers have gotten the reputation for getting the job done.Do not quit. Keep on trucking ! You can do this.If it was easy , everyone would do it.
    I know you can do it.Go slowly, take a deep breath, think about what you have do, then go do it.
    Then come back and tell us how you did.:biggrin_25514:
     
    lord_sixpac and inkeper Thank this.

    I leave sat and I am super nervous. If I can just be half as good at driving as my dad was, I'll be hell on 18 wheels. BBM u told me we were gonna miss each other by a day....I'm holding u to it. I have to admit I am not looking forward to dealing with bus for 14 hours...ughhhh. nor am I looking forward to rooming with these chicks. But hopefully they r cool.

    Remember guys It is all part of the job. It seems hard and sometimes a bit unfair. But trust me when you say it's only 6 inches give me a break! Remember sometrips you have less than that at the docks. One I deliver to every other day you have 3 or 4 inches when you jack it in. Always same guy there in a Beatiful extended KW with lights and chrome everywhere. But can he leave markers on to help NOOOO that too much to ask. So I cheated. Bought Chem Lights and put one just infront of his bumper.

    Yeah its some kinda law of nature, the tighter the spot, the nicer the trucks next to you will be. Also the more people will be watching you back in. There is probably some sort of equation for it out there. Just don't give up or you will never get it.

    Did anyone else have instructors that moved the cones while tort doing your tests, been talking toto several people here that have had comes mysteriously move during their tests,I thinkinking about this cause something just didn't jive right with me on this fail, I nailed it and lined up my tandems with the cones so I knew my bar was in the bumper box..but as I looked at it I realized the cones had been moved, and even right now the box I used for my test is different than all the rest, the cones have been moved...I'm not trying to blame my failure on something other than myself, but it seems pretty bogus to move the stuff while the test is going on..
