Both Jerry and I had a great time with Dan Sheppard and learned a lot.  We had no idea how we should really be turning when going left or right.  We also both have confidence in our ability to back up and park now.  Dan gave easy to understand instructions and made sure we understood and could direct each other when it came to backing up.

We came away with a lot of new information on a variety of things including driving defensively and we had a fun time doing it.  Dan is a great teacher with a good sense of humor.

As far on ways to improve..  For me personally I would have benefited from someone going over one of the passes with me to help me my first time over.  Dan explained the different things we might encounter but I don’t always understand things about the truck, how it might shift or what I have to do.  It is not that it wasn’t explained well enough to me it’s just that I need more than that.  I learn by reading, someone teaching and in a case like this I then need someone beside me teaching me as I go up and down the pass.

I know something like this in the program would be an added expense but it would be worth it too me.  This is my truck but my husband was always the driver and I navigated so when he passed away I had to go into my Ford dealership and have someone get in the truck and explain all that it had.  Jerry has never owned a truck either.
