I was surprised at my BP which is usually in the low 120s but read 138. must've been anxious. but I was still in range. my heart rate never got above 112 . So no other surprisesbigred81 Thanks this. -

Day 2. Studied the Pre Trip Inspection last night. Spent an hour and a half this morning doing one with my instructor. There is a lot to know and memorize, very necessary for the CDL test. I expect to be doing this every morning until I can do it by rote. this afternoon got my first on road driving a tractor and 40 ft trailer. Drove 30 miles. Scary. Double clutching 10 speeds. Left turns and right turns. And of course keeping an accurate log book.
