Starting Stevens Transport School 10/05/15

i start with stevens transport 10/19/15 Dallas tx i am from ny.got my cdl recently. Question i asked no answer yet from stevens where are there drop yards near ny? as hometime i see columbus ohio shows the closest

I don't know much about where they have drop yards. From the research I did, they contract with places all over the country so I'm sure you're bound to find one just about any major city, but I wouldn't have specifics on that

Day 5 10/09/15 Spent all day on the track. I did fairly well on parallel parking. Had some trouble with shifting my first 4 laps around the track. One of the trainers was on board, after a couple of laps. Gave me some great feedback. (This is dine accelerated training so the trainers don't mess around, so pay attention to what they say and take it to heart and apply it. Don't get butt-hurt.) next for laps on my own I hit it out of the ballpark on both up & down shifting. Got home too Damn tired for anything else.

It's been a full week since I updated. Today is 10/16/15(part1 to catch up this last week), one more day to end week two. We were finally allowed of the track this past week, and for those haven't driven a semi before, **** gets real really quick on the streets. We've been around the industrial area, but it seems the trainer in our truck though I was ready enough that on my first day driving he got me on to the interstate. That went fairly well as has all week. All I can say is know your gear to speeds and gear to rpms. Also, adjust your seats. First day of driving my seat was not set up properly and I hyperextended my left knee. Everything is fine with clutching and driving but it hurts to walk

Hope to hear more soon.

The closest drop yard Stevens has to NYC is Kearny, NJ which looks like it is right by the George Washington bridge which works out good because Stevens hauls a lot of product to Hunts point.

I just came out of Hunts point yesterday. My first trip to NY and its not as bad ad everyone says it is.
