Photos from Newport, Arkansas - post three

Another blog and photos (by Joe Staebell) for the three weeks of truck driver training at Arkansas State University in Newport, Arkansas (ASU-N). Click on one of the thumbnail photos to open a new web page and to display a larger version of that photo.




Another view of the driving range at ASU-N. The WW-2 airfield provided lots of flat, solid and unobstructed space for students to practise various driving skills. This photo shows traffic lanes delineated by a line of barrels on the left and right sides of the runway. In the middle are 3 practise stations for the Serpentine Backing exercise. In the background on the left side is the 'angled barrel dock' practise area. In the background, middle of photo, is a rig parking area and the 'angled alleyway dock' practise area. On the right side of photo is the 'straight-line backing between trailers' practise area.





This view shows a portion of the runway shown in the previous photo, and the 'angled barrel dock' practise area in the background.






This view shows a tractor-trailer rig at one of the 'angled barrel dock' practise stations. Joe took the photo while in the driver's seat of a tractor.

Additional photos will be added ASAP..!
