    Thanks indianaEmt for the PM. It did help alot. I feel more confident about the MVR n the accident report which was only a small accident and know tickets were issued to me at all because it was bumper to bumper traffic. It wasn't serious at all

    I think you'll be fine, just call in and check on your application status regularly, don't wait for them to call you.

    I'll take that advice about calling them. I've called numerous times. The only thing holding me up right now is a past employer not answering the phone for employment verification.

    The simulator isn't too bad, hard to make it really with the shakes and rumble of a real truck but it does the job and help with the 13 speed familiarization . Today we started load securement and there is a lot to learn, but its actually easier than you would think have class all weekend and its more load securement , but everything has been a blast and challenging tmc is most defiantly on there game and a top notch employer ,!
     
    Truckie83, Willie56 and indianaEMT Thank this.
