    Okay people, this will be my last update until after january 1st. I finished my road test today with a 94...lost 4 points due to hairpin turns because I touched the white line on two tight turns, and lost 2 points because I was in a turn, watching my trailer, trying NOT to hit the line, and didn't turn my turn signal on fast enough to merge but all in all I a very happy. I finish orientation tomorrow. Harold said I would be done by 10 AM then its back home until the 1st when my trainer is scheduled to pick me up. Until then, its just relaxing, playing xbox, and enjoying some home time before this 15k marathon. Thank you all for the encouragement, Harold is an awesome trainer, and I'm looking forward to driving with you.

    Okay...well I finished class on the 20th and I've been home since the evening of the 20th. I was suppossed to be picked up by my trainer on the 1st but complications have pushed my pick up date back. He is in Cartersville having a service done on his truck. Then he is picking up a load of glass that is late being loaded for delivery to Ft. Worth. Not sure if I'll meet with him tonight or tomorrow but hopefully it will be very soon. Im considering asking him for his stop tonight for his 10 hour break and meeting him there so I can get this started.

    Trainer sent me a message. Service on his truck wasn't finished until almost 7PM and he isn't set to pick up his load of glass until morning so its looking like Saturday. I'll park at the Burleson terminal and meet him there.

    Just take it as your first training lesson on mechanics, shippers and how they will screw up your best laid plans, and not give a ####.
