Profile For Sheree Y.

That "gut instinct" is REAL!!! Funny how the times I've ignored it I've ended up in not fun situations. Thankfully, I've been fortunate enough to either find a place to turn around on my own, or someone just "happened" to be around to help direct me (I believe them to be angels lol). But it wastes a lot of time and frazzles the nerves and so not worth it! At school they teach "slow down" and that never made any PRACTICAL sense to me till now...rather than risk missing a turn or turning down the wrong road to NeverNeverLand, I slow down, throw on my 4-ways and stop if I have to, to make sure of where I need to be...and THAT has been my biggest help. I have always prided myself on navigation skills....till now...lol.

Been solo almost 4 months...and feeling it lol. I perused this site before I started driving, but yesterday I dug in and read as many articles as I could and just need to let you know that I feel so much better! All of the stories about getting lost, having to back out a half a mile on a narrow dirt road, heading in the wrong direction, etc. etc. etc....yep, I've already done all of that plus so much more. I was really beginning to doubt my ability to do this job. But I saw so many others have had the same rookie experiences and you just don't know how much it helped me to know that. Now I just gotta "buck up" and keep improving and proving to my company that I was a good hire....thanks for this site...no words can tell you how much it has and will continue to help me become the trucker I wish to be. Thanks!
