Train you to drive a big rig so I can have more time to goof off.

I don't have my driver's license

Hmmmm. Baby steps with you then. I'll teach you to drive in a Mini Cooper automatic. You'll learn backing, how to gauge speed, and how to maneuver an agile vehicle. Then you should learn how to drive a car with a longer wheelbase such as a minivan minus the screaming kids.

Next you graduate to a manual transmission and will learn it's typical H-pattern gear positions. It may take a while to develop the foot to hand coordination need to shift fluently. I actually taught my sister-in-law how to drive a stick shift in under an hour.

You should gain some car driving experience before hopping in a tractor, though. Knowledge of how to drive defensively is key. This simply means how to avoid an accident by watching for and anticipating the moves of other drivers who can be utter boneheads.

Learning to drive in fair weather months in a state like Minnesota would be ideal. Rural Minnesotans drive like sane people which is good. I've noticed that folks who come from snow zones drive more safely during summer months than folks from the sun belt. The reason being that folks from sun belt states have no idea how to handle adverse conditions such as icey roads or fog while say someone from Ohio does have the sense to slow down on an icey road.

More later...

those are all very interesting observations and steps

In the meantime, you can study for your airbrakes test.

I don't even know what all of those words mean

The brakes on a tractor trailer work by compressed air. Knowledge of how this system works is a requirement to hold a CDL or Commercial Driver License.

It really isn't that complicated to learn. After all, I learned it.

I think I have other things I need to worry about though

What things? Having and enjoying a life? More schooling? Your significant other? Caring for your parents?

No no no no no no.

It's all about me and my wanting to goof off more. No need to have a life outside of the tractor. Think of all the subpar truck stop food you will have to eat.

I hope you like Subway because sometimes that is all that is available to eat depending upon where you stop.

It's information you yourself have posted on numerous threads throughout the halls of Menewsha. No super sleuthing here.

Better than the wreckage of your life, I suppose.

I share so much about myself and I did not realize you actually read all those things and have such a good memory to remember everything. But I suppose that most of the things I have said have been positive or good so I guess it is okay. Most of my thoughts are positive and good and optimistic although the stress and moments of negativity of the world do color my outlook sometimes

I wonder where Kultura has ran off to.

Kultura: hope you come back to us soon <3

Soon and very soon, she says.

*nods in agreement*
