[QUOTE="Buffet Master, post: 5115665, member: 86736"] Mac, the best piece of advice I ever got was when I was a kid from my pap working at his farm, it's cliche but will serve you a hundred different ways and never grow outmoded - You can do something too slow an endless amount of times. It only takes once doing something too fast. You can apply that to everything just about driving truck - hooking a trailer, climbing in and out of truck or trailer, backing up, driving through a yard/hub/customer property. Driving in the rain, in the snow, going down hill. Always remember too, they're just boxes in that trailer behind you, ain't a single one more important than you back there. One other thing, driving can be freaking boring. So run situations through your head, like the car coming the opposite direction comes into your lane, what would you do? Come up with a million scenarios. Despite what anyone tells you, when it hits the fan, it is how you react instantly that makes the difference. You don't get to hit pause and think about it. And ever single day you drive, drive an hour or two with no radio, no cb, no talking on phone. Get to know what that truck sounds like, and especially feels like. You get more information on that truck through what you feel in your feet, back of your thighs through the seat and butt than you'd ever imagine. [/QUOTE]
