    I have a 24hr bus trip to look forward to as I leave Saturday night and get there Sunday night, which I'm not really looking forward to...9hrs are spent between 2 layovers(5 and 4hrs)...Today was a cluster as we started to get everything in order and realizing how close it is, my wife is already crying, she's like that so I wasn't surprised about it but it will make it a little tougher(better than her saying, "I can't wait" I guess)...

    Those things aside, I'm really looking forward to getting there and getting this whole thing rolling...I've been talking to AT who's been a great source of motivation and information...It's nice to hear more good than bad about a company, seems unique among many of the 'starter' companies...

    Any prepping or things I should look forward to at orientation will of course be appreciated so lay it on me!...

    Thanx for reading this far and for the help and info many of you have shared with me up till now(even though I started off here a little rough), today just got me super-juiced and figured the best way to get it out was to share it with others that are going thru or have gone thru it...

    Anyone else here scheduled to start there next Monday?!?!?!...

    Its gotta be warmer than here in Missoula, MT. Training here is good. Just came in from taking a spin in the truck. Its about 45 degrees and may rain again tonight.

    Walstib good luck...enjoy your orientation and welcome to NC!

    I know how your wife is feeling since Ive been through this myself. If you have a cell phone and Skype on your puter she'll be ok. It makes it easier for me.

    Maybe it'll make you feel better or maybe it won't but it will get easier after some time for her being home without you.:biggrin_2559: Take care.
