    You only get paid for miles, not time in classes. Sorry.
    And you do need to be on duty for them.

    But once they are done, they're done.

    I've had periods when it seemed like every month I was required to take a class for something.
    But I've not been to a required class in about a year now.
    Get it over with, and you will be done with it.


    Whining about it, by the way, does no good.
    And who is to say that where ever you go to won't have similar classes that you have to attend?
    The grass is not always greener...
    Sometimes it is a bit browner.

    so the other day i'm going through a construction zone where it says trucks left lane only. Swiftral is riding dirty in the right lane along side another truck and the 4 wheelers are freaking out swerving around and slamming on their brakes in front of me as wide spread panic ensues because now they can only go 5 over the speed limit instead of 15 in the workzone.

    This is starting to affect me so i hop on the CB and say ''Swift, Trucks in the left lane only! Stop jamming #### up!''

    Swiftie swerves into the left lane immediately almost hitting the truck next to him and comes back with ''sorry officer'' LOL.

    So many people do not read those signs that say "trucks left lane only" then get pissed because they are riding my ### .
    lol. I love it oh , well

    They want us in the left lane for a reason people . Its not because they needed to make a new sign for the year. Hahahaha
