Today I think is Friday. I had two BIG tests left today. Randy only had one left. I had to do all the pre-trip inspection. This is where we have to make sure everything is properly mounted and secured and a lot of other safety checks on the whole rig. It takes about 1/2 hour in my case. I'm sure my tester was trying not to laugh when I accidentally called the air bags by my nick name "the utters", and the slack adjuster the thingy that is supposed to be at 90 degrees at the end of the push rod. We could miss 12 I think and I passed. I didn't ask how many I missed but I felt like I did pretty good. Randy really helped me by teaching me all the parts and how they worked so it all made sense when I look at things. After I did that we had a 40 minute to 1 hour road test. If your trailer wheels hit the curb it was a auto fail, if you stopped where you couldn't see the line, auto fail.... on and on. When I made it back to the yard and I was ready to be finished the tester said if you don't hit anything before we stop you passed. YEAH. Randy passed also. PARTY time. After all the people in the class finished testing we met back in the room and out of about 100 a week ago I counted 35 in the class. I say this again. So you all can understand if you think this is easy your are dead wrong. I am so thankful Randy and I did this together. He has help me so much. Specially the one day when I was to sick to get out of bed and he gently talked me into going.
Tomorrow we are in orientation Then graduation on Monday.
