Celadon/Quality Drivers
Topic 325 | Page 4
O And I forgot they give you a $50 card to get food and what ever you need over the weekend. Well I was sick as hell and yes Starcar I pulled up my big girl pantied and went out on the range. I started in backing this morning, and driving in the afternoon. I did okay little rusty, but okay. they isnt alot of us so we got plenty of instructions, From some really reall good, and very patient instructors. I really do like it here. Celadon did something really good when they opened up this school. well I am getting off here now. Going to bed and hope for a better tomorrow.
That is good to hear that your instructors are patient. My last instructor was very patient.

Wendy seemed very profession and REAL on the phone and she gave it to me how it is. I just have to wait for that piece of mail back from my home state and I will be ready to go!! Thank you for this opportunity!
You are welcome! Just make sure you have everything. I would hate to see you struggle with getting your permit and stuff becouse you didnt have everything. So you already have another piece of up to date mail? Becouse you will need 2. with the same adress. double check before you leave you have everything. Keep them together and safe. all that is very important info. I will talk later. getting ready for class.
Yesterday I had night driving. The instructor from safety was pretty cool. Other than that just a bunch of backing and driving. I really do like theis progrsm. Its not drive for a few days, and back a few days. Half day is one, and the other half is the other.
Oh I definitely have everything organized in my binder I had to gather this stuff for my own state just back in January I have Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate (all except the one the dmv lost) and divorce papers SS Card, Drivers license and I have about 4 pieces of current mail my insurance bill and something from the college I was attending and a few other things I put in there. I also have the reciept from our DMV when i switched my plates over that they mailed me so I figure Ill add that too.

So today was about the same morning backing, afternoon driving. I got to bob tail for the first time. It was just a short ways, but it was cool. I cant wait to couple and uncouple. If I get to taxi the student in the morning I will get my chance. Well gotta go I am doing laundry now. we do have to pay that, but its a small price to pay, for all that is being handed to me. Thanks quality driver's and Celadon!!!!

Damn boring weekend. I am ready to get back to school. I have had a few issues in backing. Dont ask me why bebouse I am already done state testing and passed that before. I think I have it figured out though. I first thought it was my reference points, but I was thinking along time bout were my triler was ending up and I am pretty sure I am starting my last hard right too late. IDK have to wait another day too find out.

From what a lot of the long time drivers tell me, it just takes practice. Heck, I am still trying to get this backing thing down. Believe me, it isn't easy, at times. Sometimes I get lucky, and maybe have to pull up once to adjust, and other times there are cars right where I DON'T need them to be.
