    DOT says so. Gotta double clutch every shift, and at all time be in a gear.

    Even though I floated gears (shifted without clutching) in my last truck, I enjoyed double clutching quite often as well. I know...weirdo alert!

    Yeah when you go get your CDL at the DMV you have to but you will learn to not use it once you get some miles under your belt

    Well only 1 week left, Test with the state next week. Hopefully it will go well. We are getting screwed a bit at the school for practice time. Haven't had much opportunity to attempt the parrellel back.

    Once, I pass, I decided to go with Swift. They seem like the lesser of the evils that I was offered.

    He certainly is.... I'm sure he will be too. :biggrin_2559:

    Congrats, Robert. Just as Gears said, I'm going to be watching your posts. I'm on pre-hire with TMC and am REALLY looking forward to it. I'm looking for a change of pace....Tired of vans. Gotta get into something challenging. I have a close friend who's up there now, finishing his final week of orientation and he said there's nothing to it. Just mind your p's and q's and don't walk on the grass (they canned a guy last week for walking on the grass and not on the sidewalks). Gettin' antsy....C'mon November!!!!!!!
