OneToThirtySix Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Awesome. I can't wait to see that kind of stuff. I take my retest on Tuesday, and thankfully, my financing dates have been pushed back. I keep getting calls from Werner, though, and I'm not that interested in them.

OneToThirtySix Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 My instructors called wide turns "taking up all your real estate." I love making turns and watching people (in their tiny cars, with very big eyes) back up.

OneToThirtySix Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Got it! I finally got that fucking CDL (After THREE test day delays, starting at one week, and ending two weeks after I disqualified). Missed something like 12 points, mostly proper gear selections and mirror checks in turns, but I fucking got it. Now I have to debate whether or not to call back Werner.
