Back to School!

Well, after a quiet weekend, we got back to it today. Kim started the day by going to DMV and retaking her Hazmat test. The studying paid off, and she passed with a 90! (shhhhh,,she did better than me on that one! :)
I am now leaving work around 12:30 so we can be at school at 1pm to put in a full school day. We started off with watching a preflight then got in the cab and watched the brake tests done. Next time, we have to do it hands on! Then it was on the videos on Brakes, Differentials, and Preventive Maintenance. After a quick dinner break, we went back out to the truck and adjusted the brakes. Most tractors have automatic adjusters now, but there are still many trailers with manual adjusters around. Kim got under there adjusted some and even got abit greasy! :)
Not sure what today will bring, other than doing the preflights. Also a recruiter from a local company that has a contract with FedEx is supposed to be in sometime.
Till next time:
Cheers
