Work on your 45s
Work on you 45s
WORK ON YOUR MOTHERFUCKING 45s!!!!
Any opportunity you get to do it, and you have the time, work on that motherfucking maneuver and make sure you get trained to do it in tight motherfucking spaces because I swear to motherfucking god, you’re going to be out on the road late, one night, and you’re going to want to find a safe haven, but most truck stops and rest areas are overflowing with trucks, but there may be a TA or a Pilot Flying J with a large parking lot that may have a couple of spaces open, but of course people don’t give a shit how they park and will make backing into a space a FUCKING NIGHTMARE because you never had any training for doing your maneuvers in tight spaces.
WORK
ON
YOUR
45s

Also, not every trainer is the same – mine happened to be alright, since he placed a lot of emphasis on safety and did well in instructing me on how to do 45s, but it was all at the DCs and Love’s that have a shit ton of room.
Some people had shitty trainers, from what I hear. Some trainers will either mumble or won’t do anything to prepare you for truck driving, so you’ll have to do things on your own. If you get those type of trainers, request a replacement.
Bring a week’s worth of clothes, shower shit, and bedding because there won’t be much you can do during training. Sleeping while the truck is moving is going to be rough but you will eventually get used to it… kind of. Sleeping in a parked truck with auto start will be interesting – focus on falling asleep soon whenever the truck starts itself, if your trainer’s truck is equipped with one. It’ll be easier to fall asleep if the truck is equipped with an APU.
