Use GOAL and perform that FULL 360. More then one if necessary! Driving, just as you did when getting your CDL. Extra cautious. Don't make any stupid moves.

Do you drive the same truck all the time? I hear that you slip seat. With slip seating a lot of stuff gets over looked and the truck aren't 100%. I would dislike having to fix problems Everytime you start your day. I wonder if covid if they change that idea and assigned trucks to people.
