    You got lucky getting an answer that quick. I never tried e-mail, I like to talk in person. Good luck, maybe I'll see you on the road. Keep in touch. When I go into training I don't know how often I'll post because I don't have a laptop.

    I also don't have a laptop, my recruiter told me to feel free to contact her anyway that was convient. She said if i email and she was out of the office it gets forwarded to her blackberry cell. I have called and left messages as well but the email usually is a little quicker. She is really great as far as not leaving me hang wondering if she is going to call. I have always heard back the same day....good luck to you as well bill.

    Also got an update for Aug 4th. So I guess I will see you guys there.
    I am sure they will have us at the Ritz on Monday:biggrin_2554: HA!

    I guess a bus ride is the venue from Derry, NH? PHHT! Oh well, Wish I could bum a ride out to Syracuse vs. being stuck on a bus.....looks like we will spend enough of our time on the road, why add to it. :biggrin_255:

    See Ya All There!

    Hi Bill122250,
    I went back to the school this past weekend and got an hour on the road. Phew! was I rusty...got my ticket Dec last year. After 15 minutes of making filings in the tranny, :biggrin_2552: I got my timing back. Although, I did not bother with any backing maneuvers. Should be a bit different from the day trucks and the 40 footers to the full size machines. I got 1 hour in a full size rig.

    Well my recruiter lied again. Last Monday she told me she was giving me a slot for Aug 4 because the other people hadn't called her. She told me to call back Tuesday and then on the 27th we would finalize plans. I called back Tuesday and she told me that there were no slots. She had me call Friday to see if any cancellations. No luck on Friday. Then she says that there were only 5 slots for all recruiters and it was who got them first, She says she checks everyday but no luck. I called the recruiter in Syracuse Friday but only got his voicemail and no call back. All I ever get with him is voicemail. I am going to call him again today to see if I can talk to him. By the way my recruiter told me I am next on list but it could be 2,3 or 4 months to get a slot. I asked about another terminal for orientation but was told it couoldn't be done.

    Good Luck

    I think you have the same recruiter I have, Tamela W in Memphis

    When you go that puts me one step closer.

    When did she give you your date?

    wow!! things are different here, my home terminal is Edwardsville, KS and as soon as my field training complete and the road test at the highway patrol passed, we files the paperworks and had my date right away for orientation...

    hopefully things will be the same for going out there with my mentor
