Well finishing up week two . Eileen and I have been having a great time. This week we learned about log books and driving i city. We also worked on our backing skills and down hill shifting. Today we came down a 8% and 6 % grades at 60 mph and down shifting . It was great some of us had some trouble but for the most part we all did verywell. Iam not concerned about hills anymore . Thanks to my instructors.Next week we will be doing Qualcom and going to LA on our student trip . Should be great fun . Talk to you soon Andy

Andy,

How are things going for you and your wife while training at W/S. If you had to rate the 30 day training at W/S how would it rate.

Hey Brad . Well I would rate W/S as a top notch 30 day school . We just completed our 4 day student trip down to Santa Fe Springs CA . from Missoula had a great time drove alot of miles and learned a bunch . LA driving tight docks . bad food lol and not much sleep. But I would not trade it for anything. This week we have been doing more city driving and getting ready for our Road test and DOT backing . It won't be long now . If your considering a school look hard at Watkins and Shepard . Good Luck Andy

Andy,

I am interested to find out if you have graduated from the W/S 30 day class and got your CDL. If you have, did they assign you a truck and send you and your wife out.

Hey Brad, Yep we finished last Monday and we have been on the road for three days now and are working on our third load . Heading to Modesto with a load of Paper. Have a load waiting for us there then it's on to Santa Fe Springs Ca for a load to Iowa . So things are looking good for now. Jusy have to learn how to sleep with the truck moving. Well off to ben later Andy .
