Profile For Tim

Hey everybody,

I started school last week in Wisconsin at Fox Valley Tech. I'm very impressed with the school so far and am enjoying it very much. Had a rough time earlier in the week with down shifting a 10 speed (UGH!!!). That shot of fuel between double clutching was killing me!! But, eventually, everything started to fall into place. Pulled a trailer around today and that went well (I've had yard truck experience, which helped). Next week we work on backing and possibly hitting the streets. Overall I'm very happy with how things are going and the instructors are awesome!

More to come........

Thanks Errol. I was just wondering...

Hey is there a way to send personal messages here on this site?

Thanks Brian! Yes, I definitely agree, this site is fantastic!

It will be a good feeling to get them out of the way!

Anybody remember how many questions are on the Hazmat test?

Two down and one to go! Passed the doubles and tankers today and now onto studying for the fun one (Hazmat).

Thanks everybody! The High road training here certainly taught me a lot in order to get my permit and now I'll study for the endorsements as well!

Is it common to get your Hazmat, Doubles/Triples and Tanker endorsements before even going to school? Also, I went for a visit to the school I'll be attending and I noticed a lot of people practice driving with trailers but I didn't see any doubles. Do schools generally teach driving doubles/triples and the procedures with dollys etc.? Thanks

Passed the general knowledge and air brakes today!! Proud CDL Permit holder!
