Got my permit and tanker endorsement on Monday before class. Monday we did straight backs all day.
Tuesday to Friday we did offset backing. There were quite a few guys that were starting there second week doing offsets so I was a bit nervous. By Friday afternoon though I was able to hit all of my attempts without any help from the instructor. I really don't see why some of the guys that were out there before me are still having issues. Next week I'm eligible to go on the road and hopefully will be moved over to the parallel parking side.
I'm slowly learning the pre-trip. I know where everything is, I'm just trying to get the verbiage down now. Hopefully by Wednesday next week I'll have it.
Best wishes!

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
