The Millis Journey

Thanks! Maybe we will see each other sometime

 

Well day two is over. We started our first log book. Watched some videos and did some map reading and trip planning! It was a fun good day! But finally we get to drive tomorrow!!!!!! 4 of us are going in at 7:30 and the other 4 are going in at 12. So it's only going to be a 4 hour day tomorrow! We are learning a lot of new stuff everyday! But everyone stay safe and have fun!

 

Well day 3 is over early! Got to start the millis 500. Double clutching isnt very hard just takes a little getting used to. Great learning experience. I also got to meet baritone! But stay safe out there!

 

Welp day 4 is over. Nothing but videos and power points... Tomorrow we will do some coupling and uncoupling, pretrip, and start some backing maneuvers. Hope everyones miles are up and everyone is driving safe!

 

Well week one is over!! Fun and boring week. This morning we did our first pre-trip as soon as it became daylight. Then we split up the class like we did the third day and Greg too my half in the old Freightliner and Harold (an instructor helping greg out since we have 8 in class) took his crew out. We basically did a huge circle around C'ville 100 mile trip at most. First time on the road and it was quite different than driving the millis 500 lol Theres a whole lot more to think about. And down shifting is a whole lot harder out on the road lol. We wasnt revving it enough and Greg was like "REV THAT PUPPY UP!!! Dont be scared" lol But over all i did good and so did the other three that was in the truck with us.

Next week the other half of the class is taking a trip with Harold to Trenton and the my half of the class will be with greg backing all week. And then the third week we are going to take a trip and the other half will be backing with Harold. Im home for the weekend. But i hope everyone has a great time and STAY SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

haha thanks man!

 

If your referring to him telling you to let off the clutch and he puts it in gear with one finger and says,"see one finger will get that puppy in there, not using every muscle in your body to shove it in there" then yes. lol he did that to a couple of people i saw lol
