Million, I started reading your diary today and its excellent! Thank you. Out of curiosity does the DOT driving test include all versions of backing when you test?

Thanks, Frank

After lunch, I got onto the Backing range and did a PERFECT Straight line back and NAILED an offset back for the first time in 2+ yrs. That really made me feel great. I didn't get to do the DREADED 90 today, however I sure hope to get to attempt it again tomorrow.

Howdy, Frank & welcome to Trucking Truth!

MillionMiler24 doesn't stop in too often anymore; I can bounce him an email and request his presence, however! He's probably a 'high up' on the training ladder, nowadays. CRST was a HUGE stepping stone in his life; literally from 'rags to riches,' per his words.

It sure wouldn't hurt, if you'd start a 'hello'type thread, in the General discussion area, so the guys/gals from all over can give you proper welcome, too; but no obligations, haha! Thanks for your service; as well.

In the meantime, as we hope for him to stop in; also recommend you'd drop by Stevo Reno's diary. He's now retired to the Phillipines, but he's another awesome representative of the company. Stevo Reno's comment history~ and scroll through, for his CRST training info, as well.

He'll probably stop in later!

We've got so much great training info within this forum; ask away.

Hope this helps,

~ Anne ~

ps: Good reads ~

...and much more where THAT came from, LoL !
