    My trainer taught me the basics on everything except manuevering in tight places. I figured most of that out after I got going on my own.

    Just to let you all know, I'm not trying to be an @#$hole. I'm just frustrated at the moment. I put up a goal for myself of going out for six weeks at a time and take four days of home time. Apparently, it is a bit too much.

    We never mailed them. Not sure how NJ handles it but here being a out of state driver we would issue warrants. Have your attorney check.

    6 weeks out followed by only 4 days off? Not healthy.

    Although, I have been told by my dm that I am doing good. I still feel that there are things that I could do better. He did say that I could try and find ways of being a little more efficient in timing my 30 minute break and my ten hour break. He did comment to me that I'm doing good at it so far, but I could be just a little bit better though.

    Curious what type of actions did your company take on you? Or are they waiting until all is settled?

    I'm kinda realizing that now. I had already been out for six weeks when all this happened. Three with the trainer and three solo. I forgot to mention this but all this occurred just before I was going to take my first bit of home time too. In addition, I was sent to the Northeast three days before I was to take my home time.
