CROWDER COLLEGE DAY 10
I am now officially an "INTERSTATE" driver :)
Our road trip today took us into Oklahoma. Now I only made about a half mile loop in Oklahoma since that was our turn around point at Seneca, MO, but I DID drive in two states today, heheheh
Class today was spent discussing Driver Qualification, Driver Wellness, Hours of Service, and Whistleblower Protection. These are all things required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to be taught. We then watched a short movie that covered a scenario of Driver Fatigue and the consequences of what happens when drivers do not rest. The HOS are designed to prevent accidents of the type we witnessed in the movie.
To the TrucksMore practice... shifting... turning... backing... do it again. Road Trip to Seneca, MO for a taste of a small hill and interaction with traffic.
