The Week of the Fourth

This was a week of working in the yard, backing skills mostly. We also had time to work on the giant homework project that was given to us in orientation. This project basically an exercise in trip planning, logging and filling out the correct paperwork for a load. It would have been a bear to have to do in a truck. It was much easier being able to spread it out all over a table or the floor to work on it.

So I was really able to refine my backing skills, well blow the rust off them the rest of the way in a more realistic fashion than what we did in classes. Next week it sounds like I will be with my final trainer than off to my final week of training and evaluation. So two more weeks and I will be out on my own.
