That is insanely awesome. I wish all CDL drivers got to go through this.
I definitely learned a few tricks during this course. Mostly in the cars, but I learned that I wasn’t using my ABS system to its fullest potential. Ask me about it the next time we’re on dirt or snow, and we’ll all practice it together.
In short, if you have a working ABS braking system, don’t be afraid of the grinding noise/feel when they activate. Mash that pedal to the floor and keep it there when you’re in an emergency situation.
I also learned about Spotted Cow Ale. Apparently it’s only sold in Wisconsin and the people here won’t shut up about it. It’s pretty freakin awesome.
