class 1A on Tuesday
It is offical 2 weks of training start on Tuesday morning at Class 1A. It's pretty nerve racking considering I have never driven a 13,15,or 18 or a 5x4 speed just ever driven 4x2 and 5x2. It's gonna be weird bet I'll be a smoker by Thursday. city driven in a 1 wheeler yikes.
I guess I will be driving a Peterbuilt Cat 13 speed with a 48ft. cube van.

I wonder if I would pass my 1A again? A guy develops lots of bad habits. I had the damn thing for about 25 years but drove semi before I was old enough to get license. I still remember some of the times we had on the road - used to haul lots into Washington, Oregon, and BC. Hauled a dry van all over the U.S. one winter. Hauled gravel from when I was 16 - Cab over freightliner / 290 Cummins / no jake / no ac / no power steering / twin stick transmission! Dad wondered why I started drinking beer!

Well today went very good, I was supposed to only drive South Indusrial but, today I also drove Circle Drive, Idlywyld, and North Industrial. It sounded like I was doing very very well.
I learned however I never knew how to top at a stop sign lol. I also learned when i do screw up I do SCREW up bad.
My driving instructor quote, " In all my years that could be the F**** worse turn I've ever seen."
Didn't hit anything though.... sigh.
