I found a very wide and long spot on the side of  the road near the yard that I practice on before I go on the big road. For example I'll go about 15-20 mph and hit the brakes hard to see what happens. sometimes it goes straight, sometimes not and I may have to have brakes readjusted. Then I'll go faster and do it again or put myself in a small skid on purpose and right the rig. But, you're right , I would love to do this in chicago. my supe told me the training costs a lot for the 5 or 6 weeks of training. he told the amount but i can't remember how much it was. I went to truck driving school in 1980 and it was 1200 dollars. ( which was a lot of money when you are making 200 a week )</blockquote>
