    I made it in around 11:00AM this morning. I left Austin last night at 10:00PM. Unpacked the car and filled out the paperwork... again. I might head out for a bite to eat later if anybody is interested. Right now I'm just kicked back, sitting in the room checking out some football scores.

    Ratboy, I had the same ideal as you so I checked. Wally is not in and the SIM room was not open.

    Quick Update:
    Everything went pretty smooth this morning, BP was 128/67. We have to go back 2:00PM for a class. This time around was allot different than last time (Oct. 17th), I think we had over 50 in our class, today we only had 10 PSDs. I haven't seen anyone that had to leave so, that's a good thing.

    Met Ratboy today from Mass, he seems pretty cool. Also got to meet some Prime drivers that are upgrading today, everyone seems really friendly and helpful, makes me glad I chose Prime!

    I don't know about them modern day cowboys or drugstore cowboys. After Humpback Mountain was released I kind of have a real different perspective for anything modern. :biggrin_25523:

    Howdy guys. OUt with my trainer for about a week so far. i'm having some issues, curious if its just what i should expect, or im getting some kind of bad treatment. Got this guy named Johnathan Frank Sams. So far he has outright mocked me, doing the voice mimicy thing thats so annoying. After a few days, doing pretty well with shifting, grinding a single gear after hundreds an hundreds of miles, told me to "Do it right, or don't bother", expecting me to be a master shifter in the 5 days i've been out. Second day driving, we get to our stop, have to wait til about.. i dunno, 11pm? then i need to drive 11hours at 11pm, after getting no sleep at all. i already had sleeping issues, and the noises from the reefer and stuff kept me up the entire time. i told him that i couldn't get any sleep, and i didn't feel safe driving. was told to suck it up and drive anyway. Almost fell asleep at the wheel a few times, which i only got "Fall asleep and i send you home" 30 hours the last 3 days, never handling the shift. i feel i'm going agood job, but, this guy seems ...i dunno, what are you takes on him? is this what to expect?

    Already at 56 hours in the last week, woo,
