Step 2: Getting practical

Getting practical can only mean one thing: Getting hands on the wheel. Not only of the truck as one thing but of the trailer as well. Believe me, it's not the same to back up on a huge truck than to back up on a truck hooked up with a long trailer. It's a world apart.

That's what I'll be up to when I start learning that art on the 10th of March. You may ask: Why shouldn't I start now? Good question. The answer is: -It's all booked up until then!

Till then I can only "play" with a truck and trailer model I have which front wheels turn, giving you a good idea how the maneuvers work on a real truck. Of course, you cannot replace this to the real "hands-on" experience in the cabin; but you get a real good idea how the whole thing works.

I passed - with FLYING COLORS!

I dedicate my 100% mark to my brother Ricard. He knows why!

Thanks TONS to all of you who lifted me up in prayer while I was doing the exam. I thank God for giving me the clear mind, the ability to control nerves --and for the "easy" questions! Also for moving the "circumstances" so I could have so much free time for studying before the exam.

The day after the exam I started a new job. The Lord knows each need for each circumstance!

Examination time

I received an SMS from my driving school saying I have to be at the examination center on Wednesday 20 at 10:15 AM (GMT+1). The exam will have 20 questions. I can only fail two questions to pass the test. I consider myself prepared. In any case, prayers will be much appreciated!

February 20: C+E written examination!

Welcome to this new blog. It has all to do with my career as a future truck driver while I'm living in Europe.
I am now studying for my C+E -that is truck+trailer. I already have my C license -that is for truck-.
On the 20th, Lord willing, I'll be examining myself on the written test for my C+E. So I'll be studying like mad. If you want to leave a comment, you'll be much welcomed to do so.
