I'll be driving local for the County for a few months just to get my confidence up,

Good work there! And yes I agree with that order of things (first local, then OTR). Good luck : - )

To be local is actualy a good Idea befor going OTR IMOP.
I went OTR first, then OTR again, then Local.. Though I did enjoy the 2nd and learnd alot, I think I would have learned alot more Local. Like you said Confedence, then go out OTR..
So congrats, and God Speed.

Don't expect the truck to respond as fast as the car. That's exactly why I said that.

I've been driving a truck for a number of years now, and several of the companies I worked for in WI always sent us down to Chicago and from there, "turn left". As though there was nowhere else in the country to go. And after all that, I STILL HATECHICAGO!!!!!

But that's me. I hate NYC too. And Philadelphia. And......

I know what you meant. We were short drivers today and it snowed so they pulled me off "training" and put me in a plow. :shock:

I don't like driving in Chicago either, commuted to the Loop for 18 years. I'm a little over an hour south of there so the traffic isn't quite as bad!

My Dad always told me you can drive just about anything if you know where the controls are and figure out the limitations of the vehicle (acceleration, braking and your center of gravity). After about 1/2 and hour I was fine! "Training" was riding along with one of the guys while he told me all the "ins and outs", not about the vehicles about the bosses. I was glad to get out on my own! :wink:


Yeah I was playin with the Lonestar pic and had to put Betty in. It's the background on my MySpace page now! Glad you like it and thanks for noticing!
