Hello again Lady_hpm. I see that you will be taking your road test in about three weeks. Well; I can say that should be more than enough time to brush up on your shifting skills. It took me a little while when I was in school too. Double clutching was interesting for me. I had some goofy times trying to get it down packed in the 6-speed, but before I knew it...It just came to me with practice. They also had a 10-speed and a 9-speed at the school. With the 10-speed, floating through the gears was fun and I picked that up quicker just because I liked it more.
But anyway; I am sure you will do just fine...Keep smiling and absorb all you can in school.
Bye the way, I spoke with the owner at Star Trucking School this morning.

He(the owner) suggested taking a 40 HR refresher course. But I may even take it a step further and go for a 160 HR course. I know that is probably over kill, but you know what? I never heard of having too much practice or learning too much.
All in all; only time will tell when I will start up with school again. I just got word from my boss today that the computer lab that I supervise will be the last thing to close. So; I am pretty confident that I may get through this entire summer without having to make a job change.
