From what I understand, forward facing, and only triggered by a critical event such as hard brake, cornering too fast (stability), following too closely for too long, hard impact.

Yes I’ve read up on them a little. Doesn’t bother me but the one inside the cab bothers my ride along partner. She was ****ed when she read about it at CFI. I haven’t heard they were doing it but oh well if they do

Does CFI have cameras in the truck? Driver facing or otherwise? Maybe Big Scott can chime in on this. I don’t mind them. I just heard today CFI has them now!

I believe I’m overthinking that it’s hard to get into the back of a trailer. I climb on my front porch all the time and it’s taller than a trailer or the lower bumper at least. I think I got this

That's great news! You've been in here a while, and your resilience has definitely been tested. I love to witness resilience in people, and so far you've been stellar in that department.

Congratulations!

Thank you Old School. I’m so glad that I had you guys behind me pushing me along. I want to thank all of you. For staying with me through all of this. I’m no quitter. Losing my leg will never stop me. I still have one left.

Forrest, you are an overachiever!

I have a few ideas for you as far as your pre-trip inspection to make it easier for you.

I’m still wondering how that’s gonna go. That’s one thing I’m nervous about!

Got the ok by a CFI today. Will be leaving on the 12th to persue my trucking journey. I will keep y’all posted on my next move in my trucking career.

I not sure what he means in the driving test? I got my cdl class a in Missouri only had to point to each item. However when I tested for my class b in Georgia we did have to use a creeper to show drive shaft, universal joints, etc .

I have to schedule a driving test with a DOT officer before I get my PSE certificate to drive legally.

Yes! You will have to start over like you’re a student again and go through that process again. That’s what I’m running into as well. I haven’t drove since 2008 and I’m having to go out with a trainer again too with any company

Forrest, after you talk to DOT or DMV, let us know what you find out.

You are kind of carving out new territory here.

I will do that. I’m gonna make some calls tomorrow

Does anyone here have experience being able to use a ladder or creeper during a DOT driving test. I’m gonna call tomorrow and ask the DOT just trying to find out any info from drivers
