    Week 2, Day 1. Drove truck for the first time today. Had to get a Missouri DL/CDL permit. Did NOT have to take airbrakes again like Conway said I would have to--it transferred from PA to MO. Confusion due, I'm sure, to all the new rules.

    Update: Week 3, day 4. Learned alley docking today. Finally got "school tested" on pre-trip. Did great, only missed 3 things; they say you can miss 21.
