    I assume you'll be going to pensacola
    I say this not to scare you but I have seen dave send someone home the first day for failing the driving part. it's only a small obstacles parking test and then a short road ride but he is not known for his patience
    like steve said once you're out on the road your trainer work with you it's just getting past dave to get to the trainer.

    Whats the home time policy before losing a truck is it assigned or given to someone else after 4 days off?

    Depends on how tight you are with your DM, but normally
    its 5 days than clean out your truck. But that is always open to
    interpretation. Also depends on freight and other factors.
    remember if that truck is not rolling, no one is making any
    money..............

    I was just thinking if I go out for 2.5 months and I need 6 days off for a wedding, I would like to know I still have my same truck as it will be outfiited for my needs.

    I have had multiple times being home 6 or more days without an issue. You need to clear any home time more than 4 days with your DM/terminal manager though. If you do it well in advance, you should have no issue. I have never been turned down as long as I have done the time out.
