    So I arrived this morning, orientation starts tomorrow morning at 645 the bus will leave you they do not do head count or wait ! So don't be late. Breakfast in the morning will cost you$3.18 but its here at the hotel more to follow on that. I got here early so I did some exploring talked to some people around and about . Took advantage of the pool and spa which is very nice. This isn't a 5 star hotel but I would but it in the same category as a nice days inn or something of that nature. Just a little dated. But I'm not complaining its free ! I was told lunch is at the training center and dinner is on us. And btw there isn't anything around here , I am going to order dominos tonight just to get by . But really need that Walmart trip later this week. There's no fridges in the rooms but is a microwave for use in the store downstairs, they sell simple junk food and frozen food and "instant meals" . The fun starts tomorrow, I will try to keep everyone posted . Nothing seems to bad yet, your are treated like an adult and tmc expects you to act like one. One more thing. Dress code no shorts or sweats, PROPER:biggrin_25525: fitting jeans or slack, no boxes or ### hanging out , plain shirts with out rude of offensive images and no band shirts . Boots or tennis shoes . Simple enough but it was in the packet we received today so someone had to mess it up once before. That's all for now.. Save travels gents !

    I lick the wheels. Just show me. Autocar, Mack, Freighliner, Pete, Kw. Don't matter. I don't matter, but I have a guide for drivers. Never tell anyone how many gears you have, Never bow to anyone. Japan lost the war. Just an old Trucker.
