OneToThirtySix Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Awesome. I can't wait to see that kind of stuff. I take my retest on Tuesday, and thankfully, my financing dates have been pushed back. I keep getting calls from Werner, though, and I'm not that interested in them.

Good luck with your test tomorrow! I am going back on the road Feb.1. One good thing about this job is that it makes you really appreciate down time.

marf Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 is it hard turning those big rigs around corners ? I can't imagine being able to drive one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneToThirtySix Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 My instructors called wide turns "taking up all your real estate." I love making turns and watching people (in their tiny cars, with very big eyes) back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneToThirtySix Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Got it! I finally got that fucking CDL (After THREE test day delays, starting at one week, and ending two weeks after I disqualified). Missed something like 12 points, mostly proper gear selections and mirror checks in turns, but I fucking got it. Now I have to debate whether or not to call back Werner.
