    Hey Blazer, just curious, what is the RAT division?

    I'm pretty excited about this weekend, also a little nervous. I've been driving tractor trailor local for the past couple of months after being off the road for 12 years, so I feel comfortable with that. Never driven a flatbed and honestly, I'm not the strongest guy in the world, so the ability test has me a little concerned. Maybe it's just a case of the recruiter making it sound worse than it really is. I guess all I can do is go to Little Rock and give it hell and if it's meant to be then it will work out. Have a safe trip on the Grey Dawg, see you at orientation.

    There is 3 divisions one of them being the rat which you run east of the Mississippi the other two I'm not 100% sure of but they go by where you live. I went to school over a year ago so I'm more nervous of driving a semi. It's been awhile as for the agility testing its not to bad I made it through most of it when I was there last time. I'm sure you will do fine just stay off there grass are they will send you home. Oreintation is one big interviews there always watching. How are you getting to little rock? Will have to meet up maybe you could give me some pointers I should get there around 300pm on Saturday we will have to swap numbers. Have a safe trip also

    I actually rented a car vice the 11 hours on the bus. I'm coming up from Austin, TX and I'm guessing that I should be there around 1 PM. My e-mail address is mcc92040@yahoo.com, email me your number and I'll respond with mine.

    Well after a crazy day finally made it on the grey dawg, the bus that's was suppose to take me to Erie was late and she told me that I would never make it on time. I had my wife drive to Cleveland that bus was late what fun. I should be in cinncinatti around 11 have almost a 2 hour layover then off too Tennessee. I can't wait to go to sleep in be maverick motel

    Exactly why I flew. I even flew home after orientation because Ed told me I could go home if I got myself to my trainer the next week. Almost took the bus home....then I woke up.

    I supposed to key word suppose to be there at 235 I'm so tired right now I really don't want to sleep on the bus but I guess it's going to happen at some point, it's about 1030 and I got about another 45 mins to cinncinatti I'm not even out of Ohio yet. Looks like I have about 145 delay then my bus leaves at 120 and off to Kentucky I go. See ya tommorow man
