Smoking

A tanker training academy? Hmm.... Interesting, tho~!!! I've gotta research THAT one, myself, LoL~!!

 

Drivers that went there said the food provided is excellent. They don't skimp on food; only high quality food for their students.

 

Honestly, i'm kind of nervous not sure how much sleep i'm going to be getting. Probably will be a couple hours at least until i'm able to sleep. I don't know why i'm so nervous, I just don't want to screw anything up. I'll definitely see if I can request some of those guys even though everyone probably wants to be with them but i'll try and see what happens. I just want to make my dad proud, he worked at prime for a long time and I want to make him proud of me and work there as long as he did.

 

Awh, man.. .I MISSED the part about your pa working there. That's huge in itself. I'd so do the same then, also. Hang in, and relax. I'm sure you know the 3 ppl (or at least 2) I mentioned.

It's worth a try, man. Having your dad being there prior, should be a leg up for you, in many ways!

Relax, retire to sleep, and .. do your best, 1st day is only paperwork and 'tests' (the golden kind) usually, anyway. Don't be late. For anything. Ever. AND relax~!

 

“There is no more important component of character than steadfast resolution. The boy who is going to make a great man, or is going to count in any way in after life, must make up his mind not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.” - Theodore Roosevelt

 

I know the feeling, my dad passed away when I was 10 and my grandpa passed away during my 2nd week of training at Schneider, that’s what helped me persevere and overcome

 

I was 13 and planting fenceposts when I lost my paw. (Dad.) Life's tough. @S.Rossi .. just plug on with your choice; in NO way are we saying it's a bad one; not many people even make it in the DOOR w/Prime, and that's pretty much what China and I have issue with. You've got your 'in' ... now GO for it.

Best to ya; posted the card on another thread.

 

This was my first day at Schneider bulk and look where I’m sitting now lmfao

@farmerjohn64 @G13Tomcat What time do you guys think I should try to go to sleep? It's almost 8:15 PM. 10? 11?

 

Well you’ll be going to orientation/class early morning so I would say 8 pm so that you can wake up a little early to get ready for the day; as far as when you’re out on the road with a trainer it totally depends on if you’ll be driving during the day or night (fingers crossed on night)
