I went through Wyoming for the first time (and only 2nd week driving as apprentice) and I got pretty damn nervous with the wind knocking me around and causing the truck to tilt a good 10-15 degrees. The warning signs were all 45+ but my trainer said not to worry about it because we were heavy and just keep going unless the signs changed to 55+.

I continued at 45-55 depending on how bad it was, and the same coming back a couple of days later, but I would like to know what some other experienced people have to say.

Starting school tomorrow

Took a while due to Thanksgiving and Christmas but I aced the early tests with only two points off and today aced the pretrip and field/skills tests with no points off and 7 off the driving :)

Just starting (day 3) at the Alliance training center in Fletcher myself. Are the DOT written tests really as easy as study buddy makes them out to be?
