    WARNING DRIVER LOUNGE HAS BED BUGS


    I'm not one with words so I'll give you my daily recap and then go into some details about stuff.

    Day:shuttle picks you up at hotel at 7am ,10 min drive to the yard and then they get your license and direct deposit info.

    You then get shuttled over to the urgent care for a physical and have to wait hours for everyone to finish theirs .

    Lunch at noon ,food truck comes .they let you get a can of soda ,chips and a meal.they're pretty good and big.

    You then wait for your turn on the computer to sign policy papers ,at 430 shuttle takes you to hotel and you get a $5 McDonald's card .


    Day 2 was a bunch of safety videos and corprote came down to talk a little about pay and stuff,get our food truck lunch

    We then got a safety vest and went over a very basic pre trip
    Once again downtime till 430 and back to hotel with another $5 card


    Day 3 I got a call my trainer was ready and to be in hotel waiting room at 9. Once at the yard I got my etf card and med card and went out with my trainer .STUDENTS do not drive day one.


    Hotel is located behind the strip mall/shopping plaza,so head into their larking lot to find hotel.

    Hotel has a decent vreakfest that opens at 6am ,other than that its a comfort inn SK not much to expect


    OK now for some things you need to know ,do not bring your car to the yard or leave anything in your truck
    IT WILL BE STOLEN


    Drug test is piss ,physical isn't a trailor doctor its done by urgent care in the shopping plaza near hotel .Dr actually checked everything and made you do bending and standing tests

    A lot of people there were broke down for 10+ days some for just a simple PM

    Any other questions let me know

    I bet your trainer loved that you were in contact or close to bed bugs
