Truck Driving Training

For the past two weeks Derrick and I have been at C1 Truck Driving Training out in North Little Rock. We learned ALL kinds of facts you could not have even thought existed. We learned about how air brakes work, safety tips for emergency braking, how to do an extensive pre-trip inspection of your vehicle, along with countless other items to further our knowledge of the Planet 'X' vehicle.

First we spent four days learning about general knowledge, air brakes, and combination (tractor trailer) information so that we could pass our written test and get our CDL learner's permit. That weekend we were taught about the pre-trip inspection and the following week we learned and practiced backing skills as well as on the road skills.

Yes, we learned how to drive on the road during the week of Gustav's constant barrage of rain. I was tested by the State Troopers last Friday and passed! Derrick's test is soon to be so hopefully he'll have the same result.
