    Just make sure the trainer doesn't sleep while you drive and drive while you sleep! That's what mine did, and I could have learned alot more, and been better suited when I got out on my own. They AREN'T supposed to do that.
    Don't be afraid to ask A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!!!!! I ALWAYS insisted on doing all backing I could.
    We had a good time too, but he sure could have tought me more. Hell, the first couple months I was out, I was in Newark, Nj and messed up a right turn and bumped the building/bar right there on the corner. LOL(shoulda took a left)

    I can't stomach the thought of getting on a bus. I got a duffle bag, computer etc..
    I will get there on my schedule, not there's. They deal with Greyhound exclusive...make things a hassle. Tamala said about 25 to start the class and attrition will whittle it down to 18-20. Who knows? Maybe I won't pass this wellness assessment and open up a slot for you.

    Just talked to Tamela. What they are really looking for is HAZMAT teams. They will send as team drivers when training is done.
