[QUOTE="rushfan, post: 459062, member: 1631"] Get out of the "package car" frame of mind. Be careful and slow down. They taught us to double clutch just for the state exam. After that, there's no need to. I weave a tarp strap between the glad hands and light cord to secure them on the chassis boxes. We've had glad hands come off, and as you know, blue/black is coming from you tires. If your training is intense as mine was, expect to make mistakes. I think they look for someone who will succeed even after training. You may loose sleep over it. I did since I never drove anything bigger than a u haul prior. If you pass, don't act like you know everything-you will learn quite a bit after training. Expect a phone call early in the morning to cover a run that just came up. It's an ongoing learning process. After 2 years of doing this, I still cannot back a dolly when connected to a trailer. After a while, you'll enjoy it more than package, and will never want to go back. [/QUOTE]
