Alright:
First things first, lots and lots of paperwork! yay!
Then a couple videos on log books etc, and listining to the owner talk about his experiance, what we can expect, he mentioned leases and o/o but not a whole lot but did say those two places are where its at for money (and I agree if done smartly)
Then we moved on to peeing in a cup, then pracctice tests.
My test scores:
Combonation Vehical: 84%
Air Brakes: 76%
General Knowledge: 84%
I am loving it so far, and tomarrow we go out to the yard and start to learn the stuff we read hands on, if that makes any sense? I think that will help me alot personally.
Thanks for your support guys, it means alot to me.
The adventure Begins!

Only thing so far is that there is a dude that is a supertrucker and he demands people call him "Rod" or some ####.
But, eh..its all good.
And he seems like a ok guy overall -
Dragon gets in a truck tomorrow, he won't be able to speak, much less breathe. LOL.
TD, just remember, you got this. You can hang in there on conversations with us, put your $0.02 in, and actually know what you're talking about. Not a lot of rookies can say that.... You've got the mentality of a truck driver, not just a steering wheel holder. Keep after it. It's there. All you have to do is take it, driver. Just remember, first is always all the way to the left and down, double-clutch, keep a constant check on your mirrors, and keep the noisemakers turned down so you can hear. Down here in South Carolina, we've got a saying, "Ain't nothin'."
By the way, you remembered to study for that whiz quiz, right?
TruckerDragon Thanks this. -
We had a guy named Rodney in our class. Same deal. Insisted that we call him "Rod." One guy asked him, "Rod? Like Dick?"
TruckerDragon Thanks this.

Actually,m I read the chapters a week ago, brushed up a few days ago and that was it, but other than that it was memory and common sense! I was pretty happy.
CarolinaCatJack Thanks this.

Dragon, I took an opportunity here. Let me drop some knowledge.... Whiz quiz = pee test. You read the chapters ahead of time, you brushed up on your peeing a few days ago, but you remembered how to do it. We're proud, pal.
All in jest, brother. Please don't take it personally.
