There's a lot I can teach, but there's a lot that can only come with experience. Forecasting what may happen next is one of the most important aspects of safe driving, and one of the toughest to teach a new driver. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/truckermike/2011/09/trying-to-teach-proper-driver-forecasting">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I became a fully certified CDL instructor (woo hoo!). It feels very strange to be teaching students how to shift a truck when it feels like I just got my CDL license last week. Of course, I've had my license for over two and a half years now, but it sure doesn't feel that way. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/truckermike/2011/09/a-trainers-perspective-on-teaching-students-how-to-shift">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Sliding around in my 4-wheeler, sledding, snowball fights, snowmen, hearing the scrape of the snowplow as is passes by, and the beautiful sight it leaves. That was then, and this is now! <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/truckermike/2010/01/truck-driving-in-winter-weather">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, it's been two months since I hit the road with my trainer. I can't believe it's already been that long. Time is really flying out here. As I stated in one of my earlier posts, my training period is much longer than most companies, so I probably won't be done for at least another 6 weeks or so. But since I've put in quite a bit of time with a trainer already, I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts on how to survive your company trainer.

		<description><![CDATA[Any driver in a semi will either see, or be involved in these types of events with any amount of time behind the wheel. There is often a lack of driving etiquette from the others who share the road with us. Their actions sure make a mess of things at turns, and I will never ever understand why the game of  "chicken" is involved between a car and a big truck. Sometimes our size just freaks them out and they just want to get out of the way! Sometimes they get in the way and don't even know it - at least not at first! <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rjensen1918/2009/03/making-turns-in-a-semi-can-be-dangerous-and-comical-too">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
