Well..... I hope every one has a fantastic day ! I flopped around the bed all night. Lol I guess at 47 you still get that excited feeling......of the 1 st day at school. LoL I have worked the last 25 years in the class room. You would think It would be like just another day to me.😂 So here is to my 1st day of my new career.
Hi there and welcome!
Well? How was your first day of school?Cole
☺️I loved it! Because of this site, I knew what I need to know and enjoyed knowing what they spoke about. And was able to answer the question they asked. Then at the end do the day I went to the DMV and took the pre-trip and passed. They said I'll have all my test out of the way by Friday. Then I will take my driving test in three weeks. I can't wait to get in to trucks. Oh and there is only three of us. And two of them are women.......lol we rocked!!!!💃💃💃😄

Hello ......I hope everyone is have a beautiful day. I had a great day myself. We got to check out the shop, brakes,drums,motors and tractors that were there. Smelt like a grease room to me 😊. Anyway I took my air brake test and passed. So I asked to take the tanker, doubles and triples and general knowledge. Passed them all.😜 can't wait to get though all the book work ! And move on to the yard. Y'all have a good evening and I'll post tomorrow ✌️
Doubles:
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
Whoo hoo, another female trucker coming down the line!!! Congratulations...Cole
Well had a great day. We did class work till about 1:00. Then we went to the yard to check out the trucks. It's was neat. Wow those things are so big! Did a pre- trip on one then was albe to get up inside of one. It was set up with seats in back for three students . So they explain where everything would be if it was normal. Anyway felt like I was in an airplane when I was in back. Lol it had a window. Then they let us meet the other instructor. Which is a women 😏 she said we would be with her all next week and Saturday we will be on the yard all day to do per- trip, coupling and uncoupling. Can't wait to be outside lol the classroom is freezing. Oh then before we left the yard......they had two trailers with semalaters in each. So we went into one. And it had two semalaters in it. So we was albe to do a drive forward and back up on it each. Then we went back to class seen a film on backing up. And then study time before the one who had to take test at the DMV. All in all great day! 😎

Hey Spirit, thanks for the updates! Sounds like you are having an awesome time in school. I start in October, in Denver. I'm 47, too! 47 is the new 17. Please keep the posts coming. I want to hear how backing goes!
Well Trish......if 47 is the new 17 I'm having the time of my life.😄 I'm proud to be 47! Today was a beautiful cloudy with some showers here and there in south Texas. We did class work all day. I must say I'm still learning new things every day in class. It will be raining for the next four or five days 😳 which means I will start my 1 st day in the rain on the yard Saturday learning the pre trip on the truck and the coupling and uncoupling then we will learn docking. I think I said it in the right order. So tomorrow should be the last day in class room all day. Starting Saturday will be on the yard for a week. That's all I know for now.😊 I hope everyone has a nice afternoon. And your never to old to learn new things or start a new career.💃💃💃💃enjoy life while you can.✌️
