    Yes I am feeling better thanks so much!!!!!

    Orientation was pretty good there were 14 of us and only one did not get coded due to the fact that his sugar levels were too high so he finish Orientation and needs to come back in 30 days, at least he still has a chance to make it. 3 expirience and the rest trainees. I still have to go out with a mentor due to my time out of trucking.The refresher I took it on my own to make sure I pass the road test in which I did not took bcs I was inexpirience and only expirience driver take the road test. I leave wed with my mentor and to start my new adventure wich I know it's going to be interesting due to the winter weather who I prefered to do with a trainer than trying to figure things I don't know therefore minimizing my room for errors.

    How about you lady,what's ur adventure?

    I took my orientation in Ocala, FL. First few days were paperwork, paperwork, physicals, piss tests, paperwork, and, oh yeah, paperwork. The guy that handles the road test there is very laid back. If you can make right and left turns, and back nearly straight line, then you should be fine. It is basically a trip around the block, and a very easy block at that. As far as the pretrip, msg me and I will let you know how that went... I do not want to post it here. Oh, and be ready to eat chinese every day for those 3 days :) In addition, the wellness test is no longer administered.
