    It's so odd that your instructor didn't try to present the material in another way. Everyone has a different learning style. Nice to hear that another driver was able to help you out.

    You could always get a U-Haul trailer with your car and practice a bit with that.

    Granted, it is not quite the same with a tractor and 53 footer because of the length, but the basics are the same.

    Although, that will cost you some.

    You can no longer get a rented bumper hitch, you will need to get one installed to the frame of your car.

    Oh, bummer. Ok. Well, it's still a good idea as now I'm thinking of similar things I could try.

    Well, you could always just get into a company sponsored CDL school and go for it.
    Let them teach you what you need to learn and do.

    You worry too much, really.
    Because we both know that a female mind is superior to a male mind, and males dominate this industry.

    You would do great.

    Haha, touche! I really do worry a lot, it's true. Even family and friends say this.

    Is the female mind better than the male's? I'm not so sure. Maybe some things lol.
