Just a little blog about a fluffy, aging woman becoming a trucker.

I never use to want to poke people in the nose.

I cannot recall wanting to punch people in the nose until I joined the Trucker's Report.

Well, okay back when I was a little girl of 7 or 8 I went through a period when I hit Ken Lloyd on the head with my spelling book every morning at the start of school. But I only did that because I loved him. It's a sad note that Ken would actually come to my desk for his head whacking like a trained puppy. Our love faded.........I never did like weak men.

But other than that I...

Nervous, excited, worried and thrilled.

Those four words truly describe me tonight. I'm about to head to bed and tomorrow we go on the road for my OTR training.

It's been over a year since Grandad and I discussed this change for our lives and now here it is finally. I've got my diet pepsi, my toaster oven, my Bible and my beloved, what more could I possibly need?

Evidently more than I can shove into that cab! ROFL

I'm a bit nervous and worried but I'm far more excited and thrilled. ...

Texas-Nana has a CDL!

Today I tested and passed on the first try!

I'm incredibly excited and very proud of myself. I go to orientation tomorrow & friday then on the truck with Grandad as soon as his DM gets him back to Phoenix.

YAY ME!

I couldn't have done this without the instructors at Swift, the other students who helped me (we all help each other), my family who are incredibly supportive..................and all my friends here who have given me SO MUCH encouragement....

Nana is frustrated.

Due to a shortage of Examiners, my testing has been postponed to Tuesday. I've already been waiting 2 days. I'm a tad frustrated.

It's not really Swift's fault. I was to be tested, was called up and even got in the truck. Then the examiner opened my sealed envelope from the AZ MVD and discovered the clerk hadn't put my grades on it. So I was taken over to the MVD office to get them and then it was late enough the only examiners left said they couldn't get to me.

April 1st --- no foolin'!

It's day three of my "road" training and every day I love it more. Things are going good and according to my instructor I'm doing extremely well. He's more forgiving of my mistakes than I am.

I know this will sound stupid to many but perhaps there will be some sentimental fool out there that "gets" what I mean: it makes my heart sing when I get to drive.

Okay, I'm off to study and get some sleep, right after telling this silly story...

Alright I'm trying to make this blog so I can make actual blog entries. Please bear with me!


To try and catch those that are interested up on what's been happening I'll make it short: I had food poisoning and didn't get to go for road training that began last Monday. I was sick for 4 days and finally returned to the Academy on Friday. I must say they were incredibly kind to me while I was sick and very encouraging about me returning.

I went back on Friday and...
