TITAN TRANSFER

August 13



What an AMAZING DAY woke up at 0530 took a shower, and had breakfast, did a little bible reading which I need to do MORE of, got to school early, update my DOT LOGS, and went out driving first thing, today wasn't so much about getting the miles in but making turns within the "City" another thing I struggled with at Millis, feeling A TON Better about it now more confident, my instructor told me something the other day that really helped...NO ONE ELSE MATTERS, They are gonna get mad at you for moving slow and taking up a lot of room but they will get around it and get over it, once I realized that controlling the truck SAFELY was far more important then other people driving...We got back to the yard and after struggling Friday with the Alley Dock, I really was worried about it today, but after a great study session of the GOOD BOOK, I prayed about it, got into the truck, did straight back no issues, right sided off set backing NAILED IT, pulled around and set up for the alley dock....NAILED IT, first time, rest of the day hit ALL My maneuvers 100% only had to use the pull up once and we get 2 free ones. Finished off with doing a pre-trip inspection and nailed that 100%. Yes to those of you who have been doing this for years, these are simple maneuvers to do, but I had been struggling a lot last week with ALL OF THIS. Was given some pointers Friday to help, and found out I wasn't stretching it out far enough before starting, so once I pushed it out farther, the set up was easier and backing became easier. Just have to remember small adjustments on the wheel will make that big rig do things, BUT you have to move between 12-15 feet before what you input into the steering wheel affects the trailer AT ALL. Once I figured that all the rest as they say was history. Hoping the rest of the week goes just as well, what a relief it was.


Thank you for traveling with me

Stay safer

I am familiar with Junior watch ALL his videos and am a subscriber, I finally was able to fingered out my issue, and it's all going, still not 100% PERFECT, but I recognize it earlier enough and KNOW how to fix it, Thank You for the suggestions

 

#### Yankees we are..LOL, Not sure I would say Citified I grew up on a 300+ Acre farm with 350 head of cattle and dozen horses. Yes I live NEAR Cincinnati now, but still in the country.. I LOVE Small town USA, Love places LIKE Lynchburg and Shelbyville, We will have to make a trip sometime to Manchester. MRS is wanting to come back and do the Distillery tour with out the kiddos, so make make a weekend of it, my kids are really not big fans of the GREAT OUTDOORS, my son is Autistic so not a big fan of bugs or heat and stuff like that, my daughter would probably enjoy it.

THANK YOU FOR THE INFO
