I know i havent posted in a while, its been a crazy few days. I've gotten my CDL which means im on to the next step of the process :) getting a trainer and going on the road! YAY! I took my test on tuesday and passed it the first time, VERY NICE!!!! I got through my pre trip inspection and backing easily, then it was too the road, which was the most challenging part. The truck i drove had a really rough clutch that didnt allow me to shift gears like i normally do, i had to push the clutch all the way to the floor to get it into gear, on the trucks i had been training on, it only took pushing the clutch just past the friction point to get it into gear. Therefore when i was driving the test truck, i was grinding gears left and right lol. The examiner told me he could make a new engine block from all the scrap metal i was making by grinding the gears lol. He was a great guy though, really relaxed and easy going which made the test go alot easier! Anyways, i passed and now im playing the waiting game. Once i get a trainer, they will pick me up from the hotel and take me on the road for my phase 1 training! Ill try to keep you all informed, but when i get on the road i dont know how much i'll be able to post. I'll post as much as i can! See you soon friends!
