    It will happen. I remember coming back from 5 days off after graduating off the mentor truck, they didn't have any trucks available. I was thinking maybe this is all some big cosmic sick joke on me and me alone in the universe lol that truck drivers are really aliens from outer space and somebody found out that I'm human and I will never be given a truck.

    It does feel like it will take forever. Like I said it will probably take me two months to get my time in.

    Once you get that 50 hrs in, you will start to run!! They USUALLY run people pretty easy for the first 50 hrs. Get your rest now while the getting is good!
    Hey Gold, glad to hear that you got out of the bad situation you were in. Wow, what a messed up mentor that dude was... Blue will teach you everything you need to know, and a whole bunch of stuff you didn't want to know :biggrin_2559: I hope that things work out, and that Blue picks you up soon.
     
    bluebonn Thanks this.
