Friday 10/3/2014 was a good day. I improved my skills significantly. Although skip shifting is not allowed during the test, the instructor liked that I chose this option when I needed to stop quickly.

My backing skills need to be better though. Oversteering and hasty movements were my main problem.

There are none. I live in El Paso. I am at school in Laredo

This week was great. I improved a lot. My driving is good so far. I did some driving in the traffic on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday they let me drive a secluded Frontage Road to refine my shifting. I also did some longevity driving on the I-35 on Wednesday and Thursday.

I go with Celadon. That is the reason I attend this school in the first place.

I know that solo drivers average 2500 miles. I assume that teams drive 2500 each.

Breeching an agreement is cheating for me, especially if they pamper us the way they have been doing.

I will survive the growing pains of Celadon and myself.

There are people in my class who want to leave although they signed an agreement. I don't agree with their approach.

However, today they were sitting with me in the lunch room. They talked to an experienced Celadon driver sitting in the same room.

He told that Celadon may have the power to ask the Dot to revoke the CDL because of fraud.

That's why I ask to verify the information.

My personal goal is to remain with Celadon even after the comitment is over.

After the team driving, I continue driving solo over the road and then go Regional.

I am keeping in contact with Knight Transportation though. In case they are not able to find me an adequate team partner I have another option.

Have you ever had below 4000 miles in a week?

I am especially directing this question to Celadon drivers who are doing the commitment after school.

Do companies have the power to get ex student's CDL revoked if they leave before the commitment ends?

The 2014 manuals have updated information. The Texas tests are following the new manual.
