Start at McElroy on Monday!

I think the real training begins with the trainer. Much more relaxed environment. I was scared to death driving with the trainers in Cuba. But when I got on the trainer truck he said let's go, man I jumped in that truck and drove like I stole it. I'm no pro yet but it feels so much better not being stared at the whole time you drive.

 

well I got hired today so now I official am a McElroy employee although I was told after class that if I didn't improve on my downshifting I would most likely be let go

 

So what's the issue with your down shifting?

 

I had an issue with it in driving school it has always been a downside for me .the shifting trainer said my upshifting was good but I was not slowing down enough for downshifting I also think the gears in the trucks they have are closer together then what we had in school they also said on my evaluation that I didn't have foot and hand coordination but it seems to me if I didn't I wouldn't be upshifting good also that I was forcing gears and wheeling I wheel or coast cause I cant get it into gear downshifting so I end up forcing it into gear I sure hope I can get better next week because I don't want to be sent home I'm not sure if they will give me to Friday to show improvement or if it would be sooner like Wen or not I know I could get it over time but I also understand they have to make sure im ready to go out with a trainer too which would be next Friday

 

I had to sign a paper after class today saying that they told me about it

 

thanks kev I will do that I didn't think of asking for extra I just wish what we had was more then 4 miles at a time mon or tues we have to go out with a full load for a road test

 

kev would you know if they normaly give ya till the ending of the week to improve or not ?

 

ok the guy they got doing it now is named Jamie
