Finally Getting in the Saddle!

[PA]

dtrain - I went to the same school. Did my classwork in Oley (Berks Career and Tech) Road work at Bally and Lehigh.
You will do fine the teachers are good AND they all drove at one time.
Good Luck to you........I leave tomorrow!

professional drivers and good teachers; I oops on my road test. I can drive forward. I can do a forward serpentine. I can alley dock. On the road I can shift a nine speed and a ten speed as if I had been doing it all my life. I can straight back between two trailers; piece of cake. The damn parallel parking is killing me. :twisted: :twisted: The other day I had to blind side parallel park. I had it almost right except I encroached with the right side tractor tandems. Today I had to parallel park from the sight-side. Once again I was almost in good; this time I encroached with left side trailer tandems. There is no justice in the world. The puppy can't get out the pound without doing this maneuver. I know what I have to do; now I just have to do it They say third time is a charm. I'm going to get this. I'm going to bridle and bit this horse before it breaks me. Good teachers; I'll be in the saddle soon. Keep the faith!! If any of you pass through the Easton area of Pennsylvania give us a blast of the air horn for luck. Be cool on your stool; neat in your highback. Go safely; see you on the big road! :rock:

Way to go dtrain. I to have been researching for quite a while. I go to local truck stops here in Houston. Most drivers are real nice and will talk to me, but some are real...well we'll leave it at that.

I have a well paying job...now but the India thing is coming I think. I hope to make the life stile change soon as well. Going to visit the local community college next week I hope. I'm going to do the weekend training and keep this job.
