Swift Regret

Sorry about That...I had copy pasted a website address, that title popped out, and I didn't pay attention.

 

I give you a lot of credit for the truthfulness in your post. I was a nervous wreck my first month or two. Like you, I avoided backing, ect. My first load was to Brooklyn NY, which stressed me out to the max. Each day it'll get easier.

My advise, roll into a truck stop in the middle of nowhere during the day, and spend an hour or two backing. Do this each day. Don't worry about other drivers looking at you.

You can also download a truck simulater, and get familiar with steering positions when backing. If you need any advise, feel free to shoot me a pm and I'll give you my number.

If anything, you being as nervous as you are tells me you care about succeeding. It would be odd, or abnormal to not be nervous at all when you're first let out into that roads by yourself.

 

@88 Alpha , hope you have a speedy recovery. My daughter lost the end of her pinky 2 years ago this past March. Tripped with a bowling ball. The physical therapy involved was crazy.

 

Awesome that you seem to be healing well and getting along quickly.

It was painful. I guess you never realize all of the things an area like that will affect.
