Hi all. What a great day. Today we went thru pre-trip inspections and then we got to back the trucks. Back and forth, back and forth, 4 hours of back and forth. I must say it was fun though. I took some pictures today so you can see what the yard and the trucks look like.

This is me backing one of the trucks

There are more pictures but I can only upload 3 at a time and only 20 total. Maybe TruckFLIX will allot me more space?

Today we studied Pre-Trip inspections and road safety. They showed us lots of safety videos concerning different components of safe driving practices. We covered backing, turning, speed, accident avoidance, and rollovers. They showed videos of a bunch of truck crashes where the trucks were rolled over on their sides. I never realized how easy these things can tip over. You have to go

Today was mostly studying for the DMV exam tomorrow. We will be taking our permit exams for CDL with airbrakes. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. My roommate never showed up so they switched me to a different room when we got back to the hotel tonight, bummer. Well, that

Ok, So I checked into my room today. The hotel room is nothing to write home about, but is livable just the same.

I have a roommate whom I have not met yet. There is a small refrigerator so I went out and bought some food to last for a few days. They told me at check-in that we had to meet up front at 5:15am, WHAT? Is this boot camp? Well, I made it thru boot camp before so this shouldn't be too bad.
Here is a picture of me at my laptop in the room.

Okay, from here on out you will need to click on the link to the right that says "Trucking School" as that is where I will be posting my blogs thru school.
That's it for now. Any comments or suggestions can be made on this site or by email:

Yesterday I had my tooth pulled. It was a pleasant experience all things considered. I felt nothing as I was asleep. The funny thing was I didn't even know I was sleeping. I was having a conversation with the staff and then they said it was time to go to recovery. I said "aren't you going to pull the tooth" and they said it was already done. WOW, I was so stressed about it and it was that easy. My mouth is a little sore today but it's no big deal.
Tomorrow I head over to the hotel for CR England. I am looking forward to this. My wife cried last night, she is going to miss me and I her. It is going to be a long haul thru training but things will be better after that. Tomorrow I will update you on the accommodations at the hotel. Monday training starts.

So I went to the dentist today because I have a tooth that has been bugging me. I figured I better get it taken care of before I leave. Tomorrow they are going to have to pull the tooth, OUCH! I hate going to the dentist, but better now then later out on the road. That's it for now.
