School is out for holiday vacation all week. Finished all range driving lessons and tests. Had tests for pre-trip, straight backing of 100 feet, right-hand turn without hitting a barrel but getting as close as possible, 45 degree backing to a dock (they called bow dock backing) and parallel parking. We had to hook and drop a trailer everyday, as we drove on range with a trailer hooked up. Passed all with a very good score. I went and got an extra endorsement for tanker also. Now, we all get to go out onto the public roadways around St. Petersburg which is VERY heavy with traffic and then also do some interstate and secondary road travelling to get our 1000 miles each. We will probably finish just before the xmas school vacation or Jan. 15 at the latest. I am starting to look for a truckin job already and want to get into OTR. Any suggestions for a newbie that wants OTR? I know, I could end up around the cold northeast, which will be a BIG shock for an old Florida boy like me.
ops: But, that's life...Thanks in advance for company suggestions.
