The pretrip can be overwhelming at first, but it gets easier with time and practice.
I would also say that there are two very different pre-trips: one is taught at school and is used for the test, the other one happens in real life, it is partially taught by a trainer, but mostly learned by a driver himself.
Sounds like things are moving along well, so far! Glad for ya, interaction sounds great!!
Re: Pretrip: .... I've LIVED with a driver for 28 years and STILL can't get it 100% ... LoLoL!
I got about an 80% this morning, according to 'my' driver (trainer?!?!?)... dang. Failed in my own driveway.
The guys are right, MBA. Take a look at Daniel B.'s (he was a trainer for Prime.):
Mountain Matt and Texas Tim (in the diaries) both printed, and laminated this....and PASSED !!! (With Wilson!!)
