Some questions about my mentor

2 bags (both smaller than a seabag or gorilla bag) howeverm once I was in the truck 1 of the bags went in the other (I carried my bedding with me in the first duffle, my clothes in the 2nd.

 

Glad things are going better for you. Now you can actually get the training taken care of to go solo.

 

LMAO, you would have benefited from watching an older "experienced" driver earlier here in Jackson. This guy drove around the parking lot at least 4x that I saw. He kept trying to set up for a 45 instead of just making it an easy straightline. Learn how to setup for the backing is the biggest part to success, if you start wrong it's gonna be a b1tch.

 

Things are always harder when you are tired. It's also when we tend to beat the crap out of ourselves the most. Take a deep breath. It will come.

 

And take your time, do not rush

 

I found something that helps me on rough days is to actually make adjustments to my turning with the vehicle stopped. It takes longer, but it also makes it easier to correct. This is also beneficial when learning since you get a better grasp of what is going on through the process. Then there are the days when things just don't go right, remember as long as you don't damage anything it's a good day.

 

Relax, take your time, don't be afraid to get out and look at it before you move, ask your mentor to get out and spot you until your comfortable.

 

Can't believe I forgot to mention G.O.A.L.
