Today completed phase 1 of training with Roehl. Phase 2 will begin sometime next week with driver trainer over the road. Phase 2 will last 19-25 days. Hopefully will be with Reefer driver since I'll be driving reefer once I'm solo. Will keep everyone posted here on the daily updates of life on the road!

Road test consisted of a Pre-Trip (Coupling,Light Check,In-Cab inspection and a random selection of vehicle or trailer to inspect), 3 backing skills exercises and then an actual Road evaluation.

It is on to learn more each and everyday,take a deep breath and relax for a minute. Another week of training before moving on to Phase 2 with Roehl which is OTR with a driver trainer for a couple weeks.

Day 9 consisted of offset backing for the morning. Afternoon we upped the ante and did a merge onto a highway and some city driving. If I haven't mentioned it yet, clutch control is the key to success for everything. Specifically backing,starting from a stop and not depressing the clutch too far when shifting. Little baby clutches,not the clutch break when shifting. I'm enjoying my training, getting better one day at a time. Pre-trip is on us to study and memorize on our free time. My group has just been backing,driving and a quick light check and in-cab inspection with our instructor.

Seriously am i wrong for shutting down
If ever in doubt shut it down. No load is worth your life or anyone else that shares the road with you.
