Yup had to double clutch. Automatic fail if you hit a curb or stalled the truck. Skills wise I had straight line backing, offset and the 90. Here you’ll either get the 90 or parallel park. Also had to pre-trip the entire truck and trailer. Everyone else got A,B or C. Haha I figured with my luck I’d get the whole thing and I did. We started with 8 in the class and ended with 3 of us left. So we got a lot of driving time.

here’s the one I learned on.

 

Yeah, I went to a school for 3 weeks Mon-Sat.

 

I did it all solo. No class. But I had 6 yrs experience in class B tanker/Hazmat.

Also auto fail to float. I still disagree with that. Its dumb. Dbl clutch wastes time imo. Fuck it.


My 1st class B skills test I failed cuz i fuxed up the leakdown test


2nd time good tho. 6 yrs later I made sure to have that down pat during my class A.

 

Boy,This got to be a Chatty place...

 

What town in CT you from Jeff? I Lived in Manchester for 6 months myself..

 

passed all mine on the first try. Got a certificate from Stevens Transport and said if I ever want a job show that certificate and it’s mine. They offered me a 2020 KW if I’d come to work for them. I politely declined.

 

sweet! I have a kickass job in spud farming rn myself(obviously Im in Idaho) worked my way up to lead mechanic @24hr. And I love it.

 

I'm in the Quete Corner, 10 miles from RI and 10 from MA, I work in Worcester.
A fairway from Manchester..

 

Awesome dude! Congrats!

I pretty much didn’t lose a thing walking in the door at Coke after working At my last job as a medic for 21 years. In fact I got a raise. That’s pretty sad tbh.

 

Ah. Been through there many times. Cant elaborate on why since the COC says "nah". But i was in CT for a "Mission" back in 2006. Since left that pattern of beliefs that led me there. But I liked being out east non the less.

 

My dad was a police officer for 30 yrs. I Make more as a mechanic at 5 months in that he did at retirement.
Its fucking sad. We should pay our officers/emt paramedics much more than they get! Its fucked

 

With 6 months exp I could switch and get a $20k pay bump. That makes it even worse. Not quite sure I’m ready to be delivering a 53’ trailer and unloading it by myself though. That makes for long days. I’m already running a bigger trailer than most of the plant. The Large store guys run the 48 & 53 footers.

 

I dont haul 53s. But its classified as 'oversized load' because the boom of the pilers shoots out 10' infront of my truck. And it turns with the trailor not the truck. I have to plan out my routes and run pilot cars because it swings out into traffic on turns so far.

 

You are absolutely correct. Not until the politicians figure it out then it won't happen. But I can't expound on that here.

So @shadly, when are you going to move to the right coast?
Or is there just too much Fam there.... that I understand.

 

Who tf is @shadly ? And wow actually a member with that name.

Id love to live out east... but my life and kids are here

 

@NunyaBizness
I humbly apologize.
I do know how hard it is to relocate..

 

Ok,
But look at the the thread we're having this discussion on, it does not relate.

So Congrats to @Gyrkin
It is not easy to keep a bird like that, and that is a Great Photo'
