I took mine today and it’s honestly easier than I thought it would be. The trainer’s will be patient with you and really help. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and be patient. I was extremely slow today driving and they were cool with it.

I'm nervous too but def gonna do exactly what my instructor tells me. Just don't know exactly what else to expect

Well I was told that if you can drive a car, you will do fine. I have been driving since I was 13, I’ve never had an accident or ticket (I’m 54) and I failed it. I loved driving it the very first time. I cruised by the mail boxes, I figured out the mirrors pretty fast and I’ve always been a defensive driver. Why did I fail? Left side parallel parking. Yes. I made the mistake of telling my instructor that I would avoid parallel parking at all costs and I 100% believe that’s why she failed me. I’m not very good at keeping my mouth shut and I paid dearly for it. Please try to listen and not talk. Maybe this will help someone else. Im sure every instructor is different, but who knows how your instructor thinks? It cost me a job I dearly wanted. To be clear, I’m not perfect and I didn’t for a second think I was going to breeze through this. I was nervous and anxious like most people probably are. I hope this helps someone.

I've been an adhoc DSI since 2017. The hardest part about the skills course is the offset parking, and there's a TRICK to it. I won't show/tell the trick unless my 'student' just can NOT figure it out. I show them the trick, and boom, they conquer the hardest part easy. There shouldn't be any 'mind games', this after all is serious business. The instructor _should_ do their very best to help you relax and figure out the LLV. I did almost fail one person 3 or 4 weeks ago. This driver just could NOT do the straight back parking. How do you NOT get that part down? You just drive STRAIGHT back for pete's sake, without running down my cones. We spent 30+ minutes on it...I finally told the driver, "Look, it only gets harder after this! You need to take a deep breath, clear your mind, stop stressing, think about doing this simple task in your own car." BOOM, the driver got it down 3 times in a row with zero problems. THEN the offset part comes along, and she had only one mistake, then did that part 3 times in a row. A lot of it is mindset, and we aren't there to fail you...our job is to HELP you. I enjoy it very much, and do everything I can to help....but, I almost failed that person.

@@solofemaletravelerme We only have 1 promaster on my side of the state, and most of the drivers I train aren't from my office. If they are, and the Promaster is available that day, I _will_ train them, but usually, with only 1, we have to do it a different day. The best advice I can give a new employee is to relax, and remember, if a big dummy like me can do this job for almost 29 years, YOU can do this job. It might take some time, but eventually if you keep at it and let the stress roll off your back, you _will_ 'get it', and the day that happens you'll ask yourself why it was so hard yesterday, but so easy today.

@noidea1962
@noidea1962 Жыл бұрын
@@abigarrett82 The trick is....1. Turn your wheel all the way BEFORE you start going back. (with this said, I've been to a couple other DSI courses, and their offset parking is WAY easier than mine...maybe mine is too tight) 2. Go VERY slowly. (There is supposed to be a 'time limit', but I ignore it, I'd rather you go slow than go too fast and cause a collision.) 3. Pay attention to the 'pivot point'....where your rear wheel gets almost perpendicular to the cone, then slow down, turn your wheel the OTHER way, and pivot right into place. I wish I could physically show you...Just relax, go slow, and watch those mirrors.

I failed the first driving test. The instructor kept telling me what a great job was doing then we went out on the roads and he got extremely quiet. He kinda raised his voice to me to stay to the right, along the white line. He said he’s been stressing that to me the entire day during the training, he said but i just keep getting close to the left white line. I asked him why he was so quiet, was I not doing so well after all, he said no, Ill need to re take the exam if i chose to. The reason was that I didn’t listen to him and stay to the right white line in the road. Honestly, I think that he was a little unfair bc all he would have to done was tell me “at all times, no matter what stay to the right white line” then I would heave done so. I was crushed when he sent me away but I’m ok now and get a re take tomorrow and I will do exactly that and hope for the best but if it doesn’t work out then so be it, I always give 100% in everything I do to succeed.

I just did the in class driver training and they said make sure you take the key out before exiting the vehicle. They had a little saying, Curb it, Park it, Brake it, Take it, Lock it. Leaving a key in the ignition they said you'll be let go on the spot. Like in the winter when you first get to your truck they said you get in and stay in the truck while it warms up, then shut it off take the key out, then clean the truck off.

@noidea1962 Жыл бұрын
@@solofemaletravelerme The reason for taking the key with you is Roll Away, Run Away RARA accidents. When the truck takes off without a driver in it. If the key is in your hand, and you've properly parked it, (curb your wheels, set the parking brake, put the thing in park, and removed the key), then a RUN away _can't_ happen, and a ROLL away is less likely to happen. These trucks are 30+ years old, and don't have the safety mechanism that requires you to press the brake before they will go in gear like modern cars. So, if your rear end is not in the seat, the key should be in your hand. Simple, and safe, enough.

Hey man recently came across your channel and enjoy your content. I’m gonna be starting as a cca my first day is Saturday. Knowing what you know now going on about two years on the job what advice would you give to a new CCA Setting him on the right path. Advice on anything choosing an office location with less routes or more routes? Comfortable shoes or boots?

Bro, I've been working for 5 months as a CCA, and to tell the truth, I really don't like it, If you're married probably your wife is gonna cheat on you, and your kids are gonna take a distance from you, you're gonna be a stranger at your home, and if you are single you won't have enough time to engage with somebody. There are certain things that don't have a price, like your freedom and your family. I don't see myself doing this for the next years.
