    Well I finished my orientaion this past Friday. My trainer was in Vermont and headed down to Tennessee, then he was going to come get me here in Atlanta. Vermont is about 19 hours from Tennessee, and I knew this. No big deal, I figured that it would be a good chance to read up on my hand book. So far just about everyone in my class has met with their trainer and are now on the road except for me and my roomate.

    I thought I would be on the road this morning. Just got a call from my Trainer, he is starnded in Tennessee and won't be able to get me till either 10pm tonite, or sometime tomorrow. These hotel walls are starting to close in on me :biggrin_2554: haha. Maybe I'll try to catch a ride in the city today and go see a movie or something.

    But I shouldn't cry too much about it. My roomate just got off the phone with his trainer too, he won't be here till Wednesday.

    Maybe you can run to WalMart and get some Legos and toy trucks and practice backing . See Brickman's post #19

    No kidding, I hear KLLM is pretty good about not making you sit too long, but sometimes it just happens.

    Hang in there! I hope you're not claustrophobic!

    I'm a trainer, That's not a bad idea. make sure to pay close attention to the correlating angles, and the potential blind spots. You can also tape different axels and slide your lego truck on a smooth slanted surface to see the effects of skids.
