Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Day 2 and we lost 2 more people. One decided after class yesterday that they did not want to be away from home and the other left at lunch. Written test is tommorow at the DMV. Two things to add here. 1st, you have to study when they give you the book. A guy that is sitting beside me hasn't even opened his CDL book and we took 2 practice tests today. He failed both of them. If you think they are just going to hand you CDL license, think again. I'm not trying to act superior here and I could fail the written test tommorow but don't go into this thinking it's easy. 2nd, turn your #### cell phones off in class. Yes, I have one too but it's turned off when the instructor is teaching. One guy's phone kept ringing and the instructor told him that they were going to talk after the class ended. The company paid for you to attend class and learn to drive a truck, not get calls from your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife.

 

Great informative post Bullet!!!!!!!!

Yep you have the feeling that some people have no idea having there Cell phone going in class is ignorant and rude!

If the person with the phone passes all the tests they are in for a shock when they go out with a trainer because when there on duty there cell cant be answered and most trainers will insist that the phone be on vibrate in the sleeper or turned off!

 

JJ You better be home Friday!!

 

hahaha....funny, that's bob excuse too. he hasn't been home yet and now they got him running 3 more loads before he has a chance to point that rig in our direction. i am so over all of this. looks like the patience i THOUGHT i had was nothing but me trying to be strong....oh well.

 

Yeah JJ is sitting in Colorado waiting on a load!

I know its been a long time since you have seen Bob but it sounds like he is getting some miles........Hang in there it won't be long and you will be on the road with him!

 

well if the both of us are waiting on our men and wishing they'd be home soon then that's two forces that are wishing for Idaho bound loads....that should work in our favor right?.....hehehehe, keeping a positive outlook here.

glad to have you on my side jess!!!

 

Well JJ will be home for a 10hr break only he got a load from KS 300 mile dead head back there from Colorado to pick up a load with 5 stops going to OR and WA delivers on Sunday and Monday so he won't be taking home time on the 12Th!!

But I do have to stress it was his choice to run the load all the way and not drop it in Boise.........drop pay was just to good to miss.

He will be taking hometime on the 19Th and hopefully pick up one more student before I get back on the truck with him.

Good luck with getting Bob home for his hometime.

 

Bullet can you describe the lifting stuff they make you do? I am a little concerned about this part honestly... Was hoping for some insite so i can be " practicing".
Thanks
