    Graduated and got my CDL yesterday, from perhaps the worst training facility I've seen in my life. Instructor was knowlegeble, but that was about it. But I digress, I'm hoping to join the Prime family starting on 2/14/2012 and go flatbed. Just concerned now because I twisted my ankle pretty good on the last day of school and not sure about P.T. in orientation.

    Congrats on the cdl. Hope you didn't hurt yourself getting out of a truck. Remember 3 point stance. Your ankle should be fine by then, unless you broke it.

    Talked to my recruiter today. she said i would probably start out training in refrigerated, because there may not be a trainer available for flatbed. Got to start somewhere. atleast I get to go back to work.

    Should've said training facility. And yes, different training courses throughout my career. thanks for pointing out the error
