    So far I've spent 16 hours on a train about 8 doing all the touristy stuff around Chicago and now I'm on the last leg of the trip, the final train ride from Chicago to st Louis I am really hoping this one doesn't get delayed so maybe I can get a little sleep before orientation starts bright and early. If anyone has any last minute advice for a newbie it is appreciated.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Be patient & Don't get stressed out when you knock over few orange cones. :biggrin_2559:

    Avoid the "know it all's" .........oh yeah, there will be some students who think they know more than the instructors.

    Hang out with the mature/serious students.

    Best of luck!

    sorry I haven't gotten back until now, been busy studying so far it seems like a very great company all the people are very nice the trainers are excellent they really have your needs in mind they are more than willing to stay over late and on the weekends if you need extra help to study the owner of the company spoke to us today during a cookout they had at the terminal which they do every wednesday I'm very happy as for s class goes I seem to be retaining the information pretty well I will try to keep everyone posted as the days andweeks continue
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Are there non meat options available for consumption while there on the companies dime? Or will I have to go to Walmart or something?

    The company gives us little card's to golden corral and to chevys which is a mexican restaurant beside the hotel i honestly don't know if they have any non meat options. Once a week the people at the hotel will take you to walmart if you didn't bring your own vehicle.

    So far I'm honestly loving it the instructors are excellent and more than willing to help and they don't have that " I'm better than you attitude" everyone is very down to earth. They will push you to succeed but in my opinion that's a good thing because they actually want you to get your cdl and have the ability to be safe and make money all and all I'm very impressed with the entire program.
