    Just a little tip. Don't LOL mistakes! Even if it just a missed turn.

    Being told to turn left and going straight instead could easily put you in a bad situation. Weight restricted roads, low clearances or worse, after running into any of those, no easy way to turn around!

    I have not heard of anyone being ticketed for taking their time to make sure they know what you they doing.

    @Superpet39 Sup man? Things are going well. I am scheduled for my road test on Tuesday(YES!)! Finally drove with a trailer attached to the tractor today. Did pretty good. Will practice tomorrow and friday with it. Instructors seen great improvement. They don't schedule you till they feel you are ready. I definitely feel I am ready. Can't wait to take it, pass it and move on. How's you're "break" coming along?

    its cool.... just counting my time till i can make some real money again lol

    now dont get all nervous when you taking your test now. Also, even though i know you already know this: Alot of people dont ever make it out of the parking lot of the DMV (they fail the air brake test), theres a little leeway when you're doing the pretrip, but if you get one thing wrong on that airbrake test: :smt075 you WILL be making another appointment because its an automatic fail

    So hopefully tuesday night you'll be :occasion5::headbang:(with your favorite juice of course, no alcohol while training), and not :banghead: because of something easy you missed.

    Good luck!, and keep us posted!
