    I called it a rookie mistake because I should have changed my status, didn't and then had an "ah, ha" moment of why the black box kept squawking at me about 5 minutes later. Never even realized I was that close. Because of it, I watch it a lot closer. Now I at least know when I'm close and can communicate such. Recap isn't fun at times, but Melton seems to like you to run that way. Occasionally you can get a restart, but the new rules seem to make it more difficult.

    I just went through the training at their birmingham terminal. Nothing hard just do as thry say n dont be on drugs. They explain well and help with questions, just use common sense and do do anything unsafe, they are really and I repeat really big on safety. Just watch for duane he is a big fellow, 6'10 n 300 lbs. The test drive is simple, as along as you can shift and handle the truck you are good and its n older kw but drives well. Good luck n maybe run into each other out here.

    They do need bigger truck's for trainer n student tho. Me and traner both 6'4 so tight squeeze, but on bright side never gotta move seat or mirrors when we switch.

    Can you tell us more about the training, how long and how physical ?

    How long are you out with a trainer and what do you get paid while training and when you go solo /
