dude the pretrip inspection is easy!!! do you use the clutch? the driving instructor gave me shit cause I wasn't using it half the time for shifting... then at the end of the test when I pulled back into the yard she was like "Well, you didn't use the clutch on a couple of shifts so I'll have to give you 10 demerits for that." I was so like you fucking power tripping bitch... she was just mad because I didn't fuck up and she didn't want to give me a perfect score.

i've just got into a habit of double-clutching on upshifts and rev-matching downshifts.. mainly because that's what my instructor told me that the examiner is going to be looking to see. i haven't taken my air brakes course yet. (taking it this weekend) so that should clear up any misunderstanding about the in-cab air section of the pre-trip.

i love it when guys come in and their axles look like curly fries, or when they get scared and dump the clutch their differential turns into many little little pieces.

Anyone know what the weather conditions are typically like on the hope-princeton this time of year?
Im heading down to van in a couple of weeks, but ive heard about horror stories of snow in october, should i be worried about any bad weather going around the coke?
