Day 9 -
Well everyone seemed off their rythm for the first hour on the range. But we got into it at did more of the same. More shifting, Up and down, alley dock, driver's side pararel, straight line backing, and now we started blindside pararel. Alley dock I just need a few more times and I will have it. The two pararels I am doing good on. It's just a matter of how well I set up. Straight line backing is no problem. I even did some backing between two trailers. My shifting is getting better. Our intstructor use to drive tankers so he is all about smooth shifting and smooth take-offs and and stops. The companies he worked for don't usuualy hire newbies but on his recomendations they will hire out of his class. Good companies so I am trying to atleast impress this instructor.Now for the fun part. We got a visit from our first recruiter. He was from Covenant. He had some good things to say BUT he was trying to hard to have this "no BS approach". His approach only came off as arrogance to me anyways. Thanks to a thread in this board "Questions to ask recruiters" I made a few that seemed to annoy him. I think my instructors got a kick out of that. well I got get ready for today, I will go into more detail later.
