Day 5: Off Set backing

Im getting better!!!!!!! today we learned how to do what is called "offset backing" which is where you pretty much move your truck from one lane to another on the exact opposite side. We did that ALL day today, in the sun, and i know have a sunburn :( but it was so much fun! i am finally getting used to clutching and finding gears. although i have not been on the road yet, im sure that is a different monster, im getting used to the idea of shifting gears. Yesterday i was stalling all over the place and today i was able to be nice and smooth on the clutch! YAY!!! im so excited, im loving it here and not regretting my decision at all. I've met some pretty kick ass people here too! everyone is really looking out for the other, we all want each other to pass and get a job, which is awesome. Anyways, im off to study my pre trip inspection and contemplate how to parallel park a big rig.....that is tomorrow's lesson! weeeee!!!   Goodnight friends :)
