    well i leave for the springfield terminal for cdl school on the 9th for the second time. the first time i had issues from my license from 9 yrs ago and having to deal with medical. I didnt know the meds in my system prescribed by my doc would fail me so had to come back home for 30 days to get off the meds. So now i get to go back for the first week all over again. oh well. they still want me at prime so thats the plus side

    Get a good nights rest before the physical, stay away from caffiene and salt , drink lots of water, and take whatever meds you are currently on per directions. This advice comes from a doc who is actively involved with truckers. He says this will make things go much smoother for ya.

    Tell him you want it in writing. Unless you signed something agreeing to pay, you owe them nothing. It can be considered a condition of employment and a risk of doing business luring drivers in.
