    Is the unofficial Pre trip "script" still floating around. The one where everyone says "you aren't supposed to have it, Prime wants you to use their guide sheets"

    Some morons were memorizing the script word for word and it wasn't long before the test proctors caught on.

    The one where someone gives it to you tells you to "study it, don't memorize it word for word, and don't tell anyone that I gave it to you"

    BTW, I still have my copy.

    Well, I would have been studying Pre-trip every day except for the fact that Prime never gave me the study guide before I left. I was stuck trying to get my permit and I didn't get to go to the Pre-trip inspection class.

    Also, at this moment I am staying in Weatherford, Oklahoma while my trainer is on home time.

    Forgive any confusion, but if you are out on PSD, shouldn't you be doing a pre-trip every single day (thus, studying every day)?

    Yes...I should, but again, I didn't get all the stuff Prime gives for the studying portion of the Pre-Trip. Besides, my instructor is teaching me the portions of the pre-trip in sections according to his own knowledge of it. He's taught it for many years and explains it really well.

    I'm still in Oklahoma until either Wednesday or Thursday. My trainer is spending time with his family. We're about half way through the PSD portion at this point.

    We're focusing heavily on backing through the next part of this. The main reason why I haven't done much backing is because we have done almost all night deliveries at these small places and I can't hit a simple dock yet.

    I'm in a complete mess at this moment.

    I have a family emergency - my adopted mother (my grandmother who adopted me as her own when I was very little) was severely burnt this evening after her oxygen tank blew up on her. She is in a very bad shape right now. They don't know if she'll make it for very long.

    I'm stuck in Oklahoma....She's being transported to a critical care hospital facility in Huntington, WV. I'm trying to get in touch with my trainer who is at his house while I'm on the truck to come out here and help me get in touch with Prime. I have to get home...They've called for the family.

    I really need some prayers, folks. I'm messed up pretty bad right now.
