    If you have any anomalies in your work history, bring supporting paperwork. JCW needed to bring W-2's from when he worked for an independent repair shop that went under. Also, any doctor's releases from workman's comp type injuries. (Yep, had to do that, too.) The day he was taking his CDL, I was running all over T-town like a chicken w/ my head cut off.

    I start at Prime on June 12th. I already have my medical card and permit from my home state. Since Prime has its own DOT physical do they issue you another medical card to replace the card you already have? Thanks

    Ok, I have checked into my room at Campus Inn, I have to say that I am very impressed with the set up here. The rooms are very clean, You can tell they have been painting and maintaining the property. I will be heading to SIM soon, I think this was a good decision. My first impression is very good. Keep you all updated.

    So my roommate arrives around 1400, young kid anyways this guy has just showed me how mature I am. He has not even began to study for his permit I had to give him my CDL manual. Then he starts talking to me about the drug screen and how he was smokin 15 days ago! Looks like People will weed themselves out by not showing up prepared for a career.
