Monday my group starts backing with Jamie I believe. I know it's not easy, but I'm not nearly as nervous about it as I was the first and second time on the road.
I got to meet my trainer last week as well. His name is Eddie from Chattanooga area. Looks like 60-something year old guy with over 6 million miles behind him apparently. 20+ years with Millis too and Greg has nothing but good things to say about him...so I'm pretty excited. One thing I don't like as much is that he doesn't let you listen to the music at all...but I'll deal with it for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure we don't have the same taste in it anyways

Actually no. They sent one guy home on tuesday i believe. Couldnt park after week and a half. They gave him extra time too.
That's one thing guys, don't quit your jobs right away when you are starting your training here, if you can. About 10% -20% of students will not learn how to handle a 72ft truck on the road and how to back it up in a few days. And that's literally all the time they have to teach you. They call it a crash course for a reason.some people just need more time, and some are just not born for it i guess. Don't mean to scare anybody...but it is a fast pace class and they simply don't have any extra time to spend it on you.
I did make it through the parking. Friday we got our uniforms and booklets. Monday is a drug test and orientation ends on wednesday. Then waiting on my trainer to call me...and i should be on the road.....pretty excited.Ga Dawg141 and sogaboy51 Thank this. -
