Day 8.
Started with a different instructor. With everyone whining how much better the International was I volunteered to go in the frieghtliner. It's a good old truck. I will probably stick in this one. Since less people can ride in it I get more time behind the wheel. The instructor with the Frieghtliner lets us do longer laps. BTW ALL the instructors here are seasoned trucking veterans. No newbies training newbies here. We get taught stuff for the "test" world AND the "real" world. The Freightliner shifts smoother and I am getting used to backing it. Today we did the laps around the range. I am getting more comfortable with downshifting. We did more alley docking. I'm nailing it almost everytime now. We started Driver's side pararel parking today. Nailed it both the first and second times. Monday can't come soon enough. Starting next week we will be getting recruiters coming in and we might hit the open road OFF the range. Watch out!!
