    I live one mile from the Schneider pumpkin patch on Shadeland in Indy. I recommend heading south on Shadeland for about 2 miles and going to Zelmas, its a 24 hour hour diner.

    Markus, I would guess around the same as you for being solo. Dependent on how long for sure with the trainer.. I applied for a 6 on 3 off position. I was told I'd be assigned a truck. With my apnea , they are installing an inverter so I can use my CPAP machine on the road.. So it HAS to be my truck ,I would think. I would be running regional.

    Congrats Mickey. :biggrin_25514:

    My recruiter says that the initial orientation is 10 days. That will get you right before Christmas before you can get a trainer engineer. You ought to be solo sometime in January.

    Hopefully the trainer gets you in some winter scenarios. Good time to be a newbie. The guys who start in the summer get to see their first icy roads alone.:biggrin_25513:

    ####. They told me that my machine couldn't be used in the trucks and that I would need another machine. They are loaning me a machine until my insurance kicks in.

    how old is yours? I was just diagnosed over the summer. So I assume I have this years model. Looked online at a supply house , they make a 12v adapter for mine too. SO iguess I'm covered. I have the Respironics REMstar C flex+. Good machine.
