    Go to the kiosk and take all the training they have scheduled there. Make sure your direct deposit is set up correctly etc. If you have a lap top see if you can sign in online.

    You must be a non smoker! Harder to get a mentor. I got lucky.

    BTW I am in LA again. Waiting on a load at Shaw Carpets! (I'll be a real rug trucker now!)

    We broke out the Colman stove and made lunch. We can't drive to a truckstop, too far! I made brown rice, dumped in a can of Campbells chicken and rice soup, and a can of white chicken meat.


    :biggrin_255:

    Time for a nap, we don't load 'til 2200 it may happen earlier. Two stops, San Antonio, then Houston.

    BTW I got free ice at the fuel island at Swift in Phoenix!

    Everthing OK RD? Crappy trainer? I was wanting to read about you getting your own truck before me.

    Gearrat did you mark "no preference?" I know there is a shortage of mentors right now.

    Had a really good trainer. I didn't care for the Wal mart dedicated fleet that we were on because I wanted OTR, But he was good. I ended up with pneumonia and had to take a leave. Now, I look forward to your posts about getting your truck!
