I meant to post this earlier in the week and just have been busy. I finished up my driving with my mentor which took 5 weeks, was home every weekend and a couple nights a week. I was very happy with staff at the Columbus terminal and my mentor didn't have any problems with him at all and he actually let use one of his vehicles to go home when when the terminal one night, My alternator went out my car. I did my driving test, LCQ, logs class and sim test didn't have any problems had fun on the sim once i got use to it. As of right now I'm waiting on a truck but last I heard I should have one this week.
Congrats, I'm right behind you but my mentor took 4 days home time so I'm sitting in a hotel waiting to finish up last 20 hours. I had the true OTR experience with mine. We have been to every state west of the Mississippi, I got to drive Donner's Pass and Vail Pass and have been to most of the eastern states as well, all in 5 weeks time. No hometime for me though but thats ok for now, no wife or kids or anything like that.
Tell them you are filing for unemployment. They will find you a truck real fast! Drop you on a truck and get you to one.
I'm enjoying the couple days off the weather has been nice here in southeastern Ohio... Been working on the race car.
Got the call this afternoon, they have a truck for me. Heading up to the terminal in the morning to move in to my truck and hit the road.
