UGH!

Bad day. Bad day.

I alley docked it perfectly. Except that if our marked course alley dock was dock 71, I put it into dock 70.

I made 2/3rds of a serpentine alone before I got snarled. (an improvement)

I had one circuit that was so bad:
I ran over the right-hand turn cone.
I couldn't find the alley dock
I hit two cones on straightline backing.
I ran over the 45-degree marker cone, a lane-marker cone and TWO of the serpentine barrels trying to position for Serpentine.
I jack-knifed so badly, I could reach out my hand and touch the trailer.


But, on the upside, there are three companies that want me:
Werner, Falcon and U.S. Xpress

I just have to pass the class first!

How far distant from home will any of these companies send you? Might we one day expect a visit? We will happily feed you dinner and offer you the guest room. You can even have a dog sleep in the room with you, if you like!

The first 3-6 weeks are entirely over the road, coast to coast.
It is not impossible I could end up at your place, however, it would be more on the order of "Come to such and such for dinner, my treat."

Determination is good... As would be a visit. Stay determined, my dear, as I know from experience what you are capable of when you are determined. If those 20-something cowboys can do this, then so can you. I have every confidence.
