Driving experience before trucking
I learned to drive at a very early age and surprisingly I had learned it on my own by just observing my father. But till that date I had never driven a car on road. Though I knew the functions of different pedals and how to shift gears and all and everything else related to driving but I have never tried it before. I took my car keys, sat onto the driver’s seat and ignited the engine. That was the first time I had ever ignited the engine of my car. My hands began to tremble and sweat droplets started to accumulate over my forehead. But since I do not have a give-up attitude, therefore I released the handbrake, pressed the clutch pedal, shifted the lever to 1st gear, clenched the steering wheel tightly with both of my hands and began releasing the clutch pedal slowly and within a fraction of second the car started to move. I swear, though I was anxious but that was the best feeling ever. As the car moved, I increased the speed and kept on changing the gears and I was very happy that I could do it all for the first time correctly without anyone’s assistance. Though I was having some difficulty to judge the left end of the car but still with every passing moment my level of confidence increased.
