    LOL, I love roads like that, Love the challenge of them. There was one road I ran that went from ARK into MO, don't remember the name. But I had 43k in the box, and started in the 12th hole. I got onto this road and had to stop at a pullout and push the axles up to the 4th hole. Man talk about some tight corners, but it was fun. I think I have one tomorrow, gonna take US26 to US189 to US191. Looks fun. Guess I am just sick lol

    Sometimes they can be nice. Most of the time theyre just a PITA. The worst ones are normally those going to a jobsite.

    Practice the Alley dock till you have that sucker down pat, as well as the other backing scenario's. Have your instructor run you through the driving course a couple of times. Also pay attention to the signage. YOU WILL BE ASKED.

    Good luck bro. Deep breaths and relax. Just remember the examiner is on your side. He wants to see you achieve.

    I HATE downshifting with an empty trailer. Totally messes with me. At least I have one more day of practice. It doesn't really help that my instructor only floats, and hasn't double clutched in 17 years.
