No work some fun

I have been training and studying so hard I think it’s time for some fun so me and a couple of my friends are going out. We are going to go have a nice dinner and then go to a movie. I really want to see Zero Dark Thirty but everyone else wants to see Django Unchained so I guess that’s what we will go see. I just can’t wait for a night of nothing but fun with all my friends this may be the last time I will be able to go out like this because after school I will have at least a couple of weeks of training over the road and won’t be home for weeks or even months.

I am worried about missing my friends and family and holidays but once I get settled I will try be home for all the important things no job is worth sacrificing whats really important.

Passed

I was nervous over nothing, I stayed up most of the night studying and passed the test to get my CDL permit, I am now legally able to drive with a trainer on the highway. I am so ready to get out there and go get it. We are training in backing right now and I’m not so good at that I always worry about the trailer sticking out to far or backing into something or someone.

The biggst thing on the road

I love driving something bigger then anything on the road! I had a couple of problems in the beginning but once I got the hang of it I just wanted to keep going in fact I almost missed my exit in my excitement. I did the best on the simulator even though half the people in my class have more experience than me. I can’t wait to get back in the truck but for now we are doing book work to prepare us for the written part of the test. I am nervous about that I was never very good at tests, I guess that’s why I finally quit school. I can’t wait to get out there and see all of the places I’ve always wanted to visit.

Training School

I start my training school tommarrow and I am nervous. I have never drove anything bigger then a F150 and the only manual I have drove is a little Eclipse. I know it will take some getting use to especially when training is over and I will be on the road more than I am at home. I know my apartment is small but from what I hear the cab is about the size of a closet and when I am training it will be two of us in there talk about cramped. I at least don’t think I will have to worry about the physical exam because of all the workouts I have been doing every day because of my wrestling training.

Job opportunity

I have decided that after quitting school and being lazy enjoying the holidays these last couple of weeks I need to grow up and get serious about getting a job. I have always wanted to see the United States and I’m still young so I am thinking about learning to drive a truck.I have been looking into this and I think I can do it. I have to take a training course and pass the DOT exam to get my CDL and then I’m on my way. Can’t wait for this new chapter to begin I just hope the living on the road doesn’t get old.

A Surprise

I was reading an article today about women drivers. The article stated that contrary to popular belief, most women are better drivers than men. I was quite surprised by this statement. I have spent most of my life believing the opposite. After living through many of my own experiences, I thought that girls were bad drivers. Surprisingly, according to the numbers women are safer drivers than men.

I was also unaware that in many cases, car insurance for women is cheaper. There are companies that actually seek out women drivers in order to get the lowest rates. I always say that the numbers don’t lie and I guess I’ll have to change my opinion. There are also other ways for to obtain cheap car insurance for women. By taking advantage of discounts and enrolling in driver education courses, women can get insurance that is very affordable.

I guess the battle between the sexes will go on for awhile longer, but I am certainly disheartened to find that men are on the bottom end of this deal. I will be glad to know that at least my wife will be able to afford the coverage she needs while driving around. I guess the insurance companies haven’t seen her driving yet!
