Day 2 of Class

This morning we headed to the DMV to test for our CDL Permit. We took the General Knowledge Exam, Air Brake Exam, & Combination Exam.

Passed all three without issues.

Afterwards, we had a catered lunch back at Jim Palmer for the staff and students. Then the fun began after lunch.

We got to get behind the wheel of a Freightliner Tractor and practice shifting from 1-4th gear while driving around the yard. Then our instructor threw in downshifting from 4-1. Once he felt we were good enough, we hit the town, even a freeway or highway or two. We also may have pissed off the road workers that were painting the lines in the roundabout as we kept going in circles to familiarize ourselves as to where the tractor needed to be when we have a trailer.




Good night from the road.

Keep on Truckn'
