That worked for me very well for me, the next thing he told me was always remember, you are not driving a truck, you are pulling a trailer. Those things may sound dumb at first, but your trainers, if they are good, are trying to give you tips on how to learn to drive and how to always be able to improve your driving.

Excellent, sounds like out trainers were cut form the same mold. Two different companies many miles apart and yet it seems our trainers had the same philosophy when it came to training. Mayby our trainers were trained by the same guy,LOL.
