    Hi folks!
    That's right! I actually made it through Millington Academy without any "AP's" (academic probations). I'm now in Columbus, Ohio and will begin my road training today! For the love of God,,,PLEASE do not drive in Columbus, Ohio today,,,I need all the room I can get out there! hahaha

    Seriously, I'm really nervous about taking that truck out on the road. They didn't even teach us how to shift the gears on the truck while at the academy. However, I've yet to meet an instructor who didn't have his "stuff" together so I'll give this one my trust too.

    I had a great experience at Millington and met many good friends whom I expect to stay in contact with over the years. If you expect to see a bunch of hot young coeds in bikinis and sexy shorts,,,,,don't go to Millington! I think we went a whole two weeks without eyeballing ONE hot looking girl. But for a group of 30 or so men, we got along great, helped each other out when needed, and was a much better experience than I expected.

    I look forward to joining the ranks of "TRUCKERS" soon. See you out there!

    Phat
