I don't agree with any government involvement or annual training programs. BECAUSE

Country boy from Arkansas here. Learned to drive at about 6 on a tricycle Case Tractor (the real kind not a toy) cutting firewood with my dad. He would say "come on boy lets go get some firewood and you can drive the tractor". He worked my tail off and I didn't bat an eye because I was driving LOL.....
I have driven just about every kind of rig and thought I was fairly good at backing up until I hitched onto a short trailered jet ski!!! Boy was that a rude awakening!! Give me a 40' 5th wheel any day over a 10' jet ski LOL
