passed all 5 written test, now on to driving. The fun begins tomorrow

Awesome! Congrats! The fun really does start now. This may sound stupid, but the first time I was in a truck at training (which was actually the first time I'd ever been inside a truck ever) we started out just doing straight line backing. Put the truck in 2nd gear and idle forward. Put the truck in idle in reverse. We weren't allowed to touch the throttle while on the practice pad for two weeks. I did my first 15 minutes idling a big truck backwards and forwards and when I got out I was all smiles. It felt really cool.

Don't worry about sounding stupid, it's my first time ever too. I never even drove a stick shift, they say it's an advantage. We will see, excited and a little nervous but I can do it, didn't think I could pass these tests but I did on the first try. I haven't studied for over 10 years. We bobtail tomorrow, I'll just think it's a big pickup or something like that.confused.gif

Bobtail:

"Bobtailing" means you are driving a tractor without a trailer attached.

Is that what the instructors said, or is that your opinion?
