I'm in Spokane and need a mentor with patience.
Hey folks I'm new to the trucking world sort of. I tried breaking into long haul over ten years ago but struggled with certain skills. Examples include down shifting, starting from a stop on a hill and of course backing among other things but the first two were the big ones. Here we are several years later and I'm really close to giving it another go.
Now I'm not worried about getting my permit I just need a lot of practice in a truck so I can get good at driving a truck. Or good enough to get me through a school. Trucking schools don't have a lot of patience for people who have never driven a manual transmission and can't pick it up quickly. Is there anyone in the Spokane Wa area who could take me under their wing? I have a lot of good intent and desire but not enough money to pay a school to be patient with me.
Thanks everyone I hope to be joining you all on the open road in the coming months.

Thanks for the feedback gentleman. It was educational to say the most and from what I've read through other florins is that the problems I'm having seem common. So with that in mind I am still hoping to pursue a career in long haul. I just need to find a way to get through the schooling. The mentor thing was a shot in the dark at best. I'll keep pursuing and see where it takes me.
