Training days on the road

Yesterday i finally got with my trainer. He drove to Muskogee OK where we were supposed to drop and hook. I was supposed to drive as close as I could to Columbia SC. Well as you have probably experienced there was no trailer so we had to get the trailer we were supposed to drop loaded. We arrived at 4pm and finally got loaded at 130 in the morning. I gues i just got initiated. We got back on the road at 230 am. My.trainer drovr till about 8 then i got in the seat for the first time in three weeks. I did ok but i am rusty on the shifting. My trainer gets a bit loud which i have no problem with since i know im screwing up. He cool patient and doesnt hold it against you for the rest of the day. I drove 300 miles before feeling tired. So here we sit in Lincoln Alabama shutdown for night. Tomorrow we start early for SC.
