Day nine...

Today was very nerve racking...being in the city on the road with other cars and trucks is a scary thing for someone that has not maneuvered a 53 foot trailer. It makes you think. Shifting gears while watching mirrors and the rear of that trailer, while watching cars...needless to say I was sweating like a whore in church. I was nervous...real nervous. I missed some gears...Out of the two things that's an automatic fail at DPS for a CDL license...number one is hitting a curb with the trailer tires...I was so nervous...I missed a gear before my turn and got my set up too short...I worked it out to where I did not run over the curb...I just grazed it with the right trailer tires. My instructor told me that I recovered very well from that and did not roll over the curb onto the sidewalk...but still would have been a fail. I did not hit another curb :-)  Tomorrow is gonna be a real fun day...we are going onto the interstate...YAY!!!!!!
