Outstanding!
Whooo hooo!!!! Glad my articles make you laugh... wait until you read the one where I knocked my trailer axle off by hitting the fuel pump barrier!
Keep up the great work!
Wanted to update to my current situation. Backing is no longer the bane of my existence! I haven't had any alley dock work yet and that will come tomorrow. Straight, offsets, parallels are down well enough that they aren't stressful any longerand I actually look forward to doing those skills.

Thanks Rainy! I'm not ashamed to say that your article made me tear up and also laugh. I appreciate you sharing it.
My day went solidly. I met Naomi this AM and did a full pre-trip and missed one thing. Next we went out on the pad. He told me to just keep doing straight backs. I did around 15 of them and only got 2 points total in 15 trys.
Finally we drove around Springfield for 90 minutes. I did commentary driving and as we came back into Prime she asked me how I felt about how today went. My reply was I felt like it went decently. She said, "Dude you did really, really well. Excellent throttle control, spatial awareness was wonderful. Braking was on point. Pre trip is mastered. She you at 830 on the pad. We start offset backing tomorrow."
