    Day 1 driving and trailer hunting with SheepDog is in the books. I have to say that SheepDog is the first of 3 trainers the help me pin point my issues with shifting that was really helpful. He has told me what I have thought that I do pretty well behind the wheel with being safe on the interstate as well as in the city.

    Don't laught to hard but I got to back up to my first real dock today. Not do bad but I need more practice at it. All and all it was a good day.

    I have 9 more hours to go to make the 75 hour mark.

    Me too Anna. SheepDog is really helping me out by stepping into do this for me. If we can get some good runs, I will be able to burn thru the rest of the hours pretty quick.

    I'm so glad it has worked out that sheepdog could be your trainer. I am about to go to a cdl school myself and am just trying to find out all of the good and bad about each company that I'm looking at getting hired on with. This has been one of the most helpful threads I have read in the two months I have been looking into trucking.

    Update:
    Well I got almost 10 hours of driving today!!!! Yipp, got my 75 hour BTW done. Looking into running Team tomorrow with SheepDog tomorrow.

    Running good, just work on some backing issues, and some shifting issues is all. SheepDog and I are getting along well together and he likes how I am behind the wheel. I care about how I drive and I am a very safe person too.

    Hopefully this will be the down hill slide now!!!
     
    SheepDog and mtnMoma Thank this.
