    Thanks Craig, I will be OTR. I checked on a dedicated route and they said no because I don't live close enough to one right now.

    Heading back to Dallas in the morning :D
    My trainer is suppose to pick me up either Friday evening or Saturday morning. I'm going to call him after lunch and try to get a feel for how the next few weeks will be on his truck. I'm not one those people that look for any small reason to get a new trainer, I can handle any situation. I would just like to know if these few weeks are going to be enjoyable like we really get along and have stuff in common or will it be 3 weeks of hell and I need to meditate daily to stay sane lol

    You will be fine. If your trainer has been doing this a while
    He has a track record so just listen and learn.
     
    DaReallyst Thanks this.

    I finally got with a trainer today. He is a pretty cool guy and should be a pretty easy 120 hours. We don't leave out till 5am though so I'm sitting at the Dallas terminal bored out of my freakn mind!!! I'm trying not to waste money snacking out the vending machines but the temptation is driving me nutts! I prob should go lay in the truck and try to sleep or something but I never go to sleep before 1am let alone while the sun is still up...

    When was you there? I was there from 2pm till about 7:30. Hate I didn't get to meet you. Hopefully we will cross paths again. You guys are rolling! Hope we get a lot of miles like that so this training can go by fast.

    I have been speaking with a recruiter here in North Carolina @ the facility in Dunn. I was told that room and board would not be included in tuition and that I would have to pay for it myself. Is this true or does it vary with the different locations they have? Thanks in advance for the feedback people. BE BLESSED!
