The adventures of 'Team Klingon'

Thank you

I am very excited to become a driver so we can team, being a passenger while I cehcked out the lifestyle has been great and I've loved being able to help him with small stuff like tandems and paperwork but it will be great when we get two incomes coming in lol.

Are you and you wife currently teaming?

Oh ignore my question, just reread your post a couple posts back! Hope everything works out well for y'all. Keep us updated

 

Well, as has been said many times before, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Maybe a 7 or 8 hour shift will work for y'all. If you know that you'll have a few hours to wait at the receiver (kind of unusual for teams but it does happen) then you could do 1 or 2 shorters shifts and get a full 10 at the receiver. It's all about timing at that point but if (when) it comes to the point that y'all just need a 1/2 day to chill out, don't be afraid to communicate that. Teams are usually run pretty hard - or should be. Nothing wrong with a little break every once in a while.

 

That is our plan... run hard for a few weeks and then a few days off, where ever we are at... Thats why we are calling this our "Semi" Retirement... lol

 

Well... today is the writen test... I got my fingers & toes crossed and what is left of my intestines are tide in a knot for good luck!

 

I'm sure you'll do fine

Looking forward to hearing how things went!

 

I'll let Klingon tell you guys more about today - but I will say he did fail one test - sigh...

 

YOu have my support K

 

Ya... ya.. as she said I did FAIL one test..

General CDL Test = NAILED (Nailed = zero wrong)
Combination Vehicle Test = NAILED
Air Break Test = NAILED
California Law (Standard Class "C") = Passed
"M" Endorcement (Motorcycle) = Passed
Vision test = FAILED

The only stupid test I didn't think about studying for I failed!
I knew I needed to get my eyes checked and a new pair of glasses but I had passed the vision test a couple of weeks ago. So I thought I would be ok at DMV... Well... you know what happens when you assume... ya!
Anyway thanks to LadyK, she got me in to this evening to get my eyes checked and I got a new pair of glasses and I think I am set.
I told my instructor what happend, and that I was planing on hitting DMV first thing tomorrow wheny they open to get my permit. So he is going to show a couple of videos while I am gone as "review" till I get there... (thank you Mr Ted).

Well, thats how my day went LOL
