This afternoon was supposed to be a 4 hour backing session. Our instructor Russ was tied up for awhile at first but told us to go ahead with some straight backing, etc. Kim and I got in our trucks, and started straight backing some, then started doing the offset backing. I would back up into the next lane and straighten. Then wait while Kim passed from rear to front to do the offset next. I would back on out of the box and wait while she did the offset. We kept taking turns like that until our instructor came out and kept us going. After 2 hours of this, we were ready to take a break, and so were our legs! Russ said his sister had been admitted to a hospital, and would we be ok to get some extra time friday. No problem, WE just get up at MY normal time Friday! :)
I had a call from the CFI recruiter today for an interview. It was just basic qualifying questions, work history, address, traffic violations for past 10yrs, drug and alchohol abuse or violations, etc. She also read a basic statement of CFI policies and job requirements. Basically any hour, any day.
When we left school, we went to the DMV to get copies of our Motor Vehicle Records. Mine is clear, but I had a couple tickets before, 1 about 3 years ago, 1 about 5 years ago. Not sure why it didnt show up on the report. Kim had 1, so shouldnt be any problems there. Guess Christine (our recruiter) got busy, Kim didn't get her call yet.
Tomorrow will be a day off of work and school. We need to go to get our fingerprints done for the background investigation for our Hazmat endorsement.
