Took the DPS exam yesterday, I passed!!!!!!!!

had 4 failures, 2 for hitting curbs and 1 for impeding traffic

the 4th one OMG

pulling out of the DPS parking lot he ran his trailer tires over the fender, bumper and trunk of a car pulling into the lot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you read that right, he ran over a car!!!

Needless to say he failed and thrown out of school, but he did not get a ticket.

His response was " Guess I should not be a truck driver"

Starting orientation next week then out on the road for 6 weeks with my trainer.

I will be starting a new post in the "Stories from the road" section and will be looking for you all at the truck stop.

 

I guess he was right, he can feel where his trailer is!!

 

Gee...talk about stating the obvious...scary that he even made it to the exam!

 

I am in the arrangement process with Swift and I would like to hear her details also. Would also like to hear anything about Werner...I know someone out there will give me the official lowdown and I would appreciate all input.....thank you NJLadyM
