    Started class last monday the 16th at Richfield...

    First day...Lots of paper work like everyone else has said.
    Second day...More paper work and videos.
    Third day... Finally got to bob tail around the yard, and got to go
    out on the highway for 15 min. each. It was very intense for the first time driving a semi! But actually went well.
    Fourth day...Was very COLD out, so we did alot of text book work. I have been doing surprisingly well on the quizes!!
    Fifth day...Went out and learned how to couple and uncouple trailers. Did some straight line backing, and a little bob tailing around the yard. Having a little problem with my down sh
    ifting. Hoping it will come to me in time.
    Oh by the way Chris our instructor is a great guy and very informitive!
    There are five guys total in our class.
    Home now for the weekend will be heading back later today.
    Hope to see some of you soon. Take care and be safe!:biggrin_25519:

    Good deal deano,
    What concerns me about starting the classes in Feb. is yard time and not being stuck in the classroom because its too cold out.

    I'm used to the cold and It dont bother me as long as its +0
    Keep us posted as much as you can, Any little details are good.
    I'm penciled in for March 12 classes.
    How many in your class?
