    Well study hard for your permits and pay attention on how to pass the pretrip inspection and the driving portion of the exam. Most fail on not remembering what to say to an inspector during the verbal pretrip inspection and failing to NOT hit the curb when turning a 48-53 van trailor.

    Good Job, That is what it is all I am not good on test, this stuff will become common sense to you, just like driving see they are training you to think about the situations and then when they arise, you know exactly what to do, that way you don't crash it out or put the truck in the ditch, And worse then that kill some else or worse then that kill yourself! I have been driving a while now and everyday I learn something new, I lay in bed thinking "What did I learn new today?" If I didn't then I think I must have missed todays lesson. Your attitude about it being more then the Hardware store is the right one to have, and next year will be better then this year and then that will work right up till you peak out at a fairly good income. Stay safe, remember it all is based on Satefy, if it isn't safe without a question then don't do it, you will want to GOAL and see what crept in behind you in the last milisecond! it pays to go for a walk around the truck. Good luck.

    Refer funk. If you drive a refer unit and you go to pick up a dry load, they like for it to be washed out so the dry goods don't pick up the smell of the refer funk (stale smell that comes up when the unit is turned off and the trailer gets warm).
