    I thought you mentioned having 21 years of experience? My buddy has 1.5 years and they aren't requiring any training.

    Yea but 11 years were local so they required me to do 30000 miles for refresher.

    Its a CYA for them mostly. The drivers don't care but the company does.

    Setting in auburn in. Got 30001 miles done. Now just waiting to go to pittston pa for upgrade. Been a good learning experienc . Learned a lot about company elogs and that I can still handle otr life.
    One other thing I did learn id I will only team drive with my wife. Trainer is ok but there are small things that just grind at you after a while. Im glad I learned along time ago to just keep my mouth shut and do what you have to so you can get to where you want to be.
    This part of the journey almost over now to the next.

    Training is a grind, especially the last leg.
    You will be fine
    Good Luck !
