    Well I made it to Springfield, MO!

    Got checked in around noon today and received my packet to fill out. I already have most of it filled out because I did some laundry since I spent a the last few days at my relatives house in Northern MO.

    Right now, I'm just hanging out in the hotel room (Campus Inn). Might take a nap then head to dinner.

    Will have to be up and at em early tomorrow. First class at 7am.

    I'm going to try to update this thread as I go through the Orientation and Training Process, but I make no promises! I will do my best!

    So what happened to the bus? Obviously you made it to Springfield but did you still take the bus? Walk? Fly? Magic carpet? Borrow your mom's or mother-in-law's vacuum?

    Oh my bad!

    I drove my car here. There is plenty of parking right now at the Campus Inn and it's gated. You have access through your room key.

    Oh, that works way better then the vacuum ;) or the bus! Yeah, there is plenty of parking at the campus inn and I am sure there is room even at the terminal once you get hired.

    What do you plan on doing with your car when your are issued a truck? I drove up for my orientation expecting to drive home after training was over. They toss you into your truck when you upgrade.

    I haven't really decided yet...

    I'm more or less living out of it at the moment. I guess I'll have to see just how it plays out.


    Is there a limit on how many consecutive days I can park in long-term parking?



    What did you finally do with your car?

    I don't think that there is a limit in long-term parking. There were cars in there with expired tags from the 1900's

    I went to Prime East and loaded it on my flatbed.
