Starting School in Lewiston,Idaho

They can't share personal info so we never know why some folks simply vanish into thin air. Beardawg and qtyning, make sure you come prepared, ready to learn, and keep your attitudes POSITIVE!!!!

 

I have been watching the weather and see that it has not been too pleasant for you. Looks to be better next week. Thanks for the heads up. My recruiter's assistant called to confirm my arrival. I guess there will be another gal joining me. I have been reading the manual also and you bet I will arrive willing to learn and with a "POSITIVE" attitude. Any idea how long graduates are waiting for a mentor? I saw you were requesting a non-smoker. Any luck? I went to the drivers license place today and had them give me a print-out on what tests I took. I think my recruiter has asked me 7 times already so I thought I had better look at my permit and it shows nothing on endorsements even though I passed the airbrakes and combination. Did not want to take any chances. See you soon!

 

The weather has been drizzley, they call it rain butI don't think they've seen real rain. We won't know about our mentors until after orientation. I will have to take what I get as I need to get out and feed my kids. I pray the first available mentor is a non-smoking owner operator with a nice clean rig. After the old trucks we've been driving that would be a welcomed change. Hope to see you both Sunday! A laptop or smart phone is helpful, but not all have that.

 

Small pocket notepad (spiral), Black pens and pencils, White out pen -fine point, laundry soap and Quarters, basic dishes to micro and eat on, plastic silverware, can opener, GLOVES, WORK GLOVES! for both driving and trailer drops etc. and a smile!

 

My recruiter also told me to bring a calculator, a small flashlight and raingear. There is a Walmart across the bridge in Clarkston if you need anything.

 

log books, map reading, the atlas test is confusing, but I will work with you Monday eve if you want. You need to get someone to study with. The pre trip for WA is very extensive. You can view it on youtube. search for wwcc cdl pre trip
