Still working on some pics royal, I have been busy getting my Comercial Class A CDL,
and as of yesterday early AM I got it!
The curriculum is definitely is not for quiters, nor does one
need to be a genius but having sharp but gentle hand to feet to
ears to eyeballs group coordination skills is a must to be able to
float 10 speed gears in a worn out CDL School truck,
and drive at the same time while the instructor is poking
me w/ a sharp hot electrified cattle prod or the DMV examiner.
is writing things feverishly, all of a sudden, as your driving! HA!
I ace'd the Pretrip, COLAS, Inside, Outside and all the Skills inclusive are
Parallel Parking, Offset Parking and Straight Line Backing, and they
make you run a gauntlet that includes EASY to hit curbs and thenb
you do a very sharp U Turn, but-some-how-ever, I got hit HARD
w/ TWENTY THREE errors on the driving, of which SIXTEEN
were failure to look THREE TIMES while turning! ARGGHHH!
It is not that I failed to look, not at all, he wanted me to make
three distinct head turns.
It would have helped tremendously if my teacher had taught
me that. Not his fault though.
I did it all in only 9 paid hours he said. There were
guys at the school who were at 20, 30, 40 and 50+ hours and still were
not confident enough, or still could not handle the machine good
enough to go take the Kali DMV in your face examiner tests.
It was not easy, I was driving thru schools w/ kids and RR tracks and
traffic and double lanes left turns and skinny roads and gangsta's (believe it)
and traffic police and and and! What did I forget?, I was white knuckling it
a few times, caught myself doing that and took a deep breath.
