    Hey, we all do things that other people can see as hard. It's all in the trainning.
    When I took my AZ course, I had the darndest time getting over the sheer size of a tractor trailer. After I drove awhile, it got smaller, Hope you get my point. It got to the point of "feeling" like it was a car. It was tense remembering what gear I was in sometimes.
    Always remember you can do it, you just have to try. :biggrin_25525:

    Yes you can do it! Look, the hardest thing for me during training was that emotionally I'd been trampled on and so I kept telling myself I couldn't do things. It drove my instructors CRAZY. It's why they remember me. LOL Recently I again stopped by the school to say hi and again the head of it said "the hardest thing to teach a student is to believe in them self."

    You can do this and should you forget that you can, please pm me and I'll remind you that you can.

    I was told when I was in training that it is much easier to learn to drive a stick in a truck, if you never drove them in a car.
    Over the years I have thought about that allot. Especially when I had to teach someone to shift a truck. And I have found it to be true.
    It will be easy to teach you to shift a truck, since you never learned how to do it in a car. So you will not have to "Un-learn" the way that you already know.
