Truck Driving Student - Day 6 - (2/03) We are still working on shifting and gears 

I noticed, when Junior lightened up, Steven's performance became better. Certain training doesn't work with all people. Some people can take things with a grain of salt, and other are sensitive and thin skinned. In this case, Steven is thin skinned, and strict training makes him nervous under pressure. I think, Junior would've gotten more out of Steven if, he would've just mellowed out, and let Steven do his thing. Let it flow. Trainers should recognize those traits in their trainees so, they can have better approaches.

There is only one person who judge Steven and that is Junior. We only see a small part of the training. You can do it Steven. I really like the dry shifting drills, helps develop muscle memory. Lots more to driving than just driving. 😉

I’ve been blessed to train individuals to obtain their Class B and it was challenging, but so rewarding once they passed the skills tests and had their license in their hand. I’m getting ready to get my Class A and praying I get blessed with an amazing trainer.

The more he shifts the right way the sooner he will develop muscle memory and shifting will come automatic with out thinking about. Thanks for the Video Brother,

Notice how he is already learning to scan his mirrors on his own. The trainer is just the right level of stern IMO.

This dude remind me when i began to drive many moons back

Hey Steven, sometimes things don't always go as planned the first time out but this is something you can truly overcome. Don't give up!!!!!

I started hauling produce fresh out of trucking school and went OTR in a TEAM.. Luckily the dude that was assingned to teach me how things ran with that company gave me his patience humbleness and good work ethics.. i thank god that i got a chance to drive from L.A cali to Portland Maine on a dedicated route for 4 yrs straight.. I got to see the true beauty of this Nation.. I am now a Local driver in the city of Angels and miss the OTR life.. God bless all the truckers out there !!!
