    yesterday i had an evaluation by my trainer and he gave me an "A." the only thing i did wrong was pop the clutch and stall.

    the big day is almost here. i test tomorow morning in durand, wi. i know my pretrip, ive studied and studied, i know my skills, theyre pretty easy, and according to my trainer, im ready and i drive beautifully.

    hopefully tomorow ill be a licensed truck driver and be going to orientation and out with my mentor after new years.

    Hey Marky, how long did you have to wait till you got contacted by a mentor? I'm going on one week and I can't even get a hold of anybody.

    Marky good luck on the test. Nice xmas present and great start to the new years when you pass the test. Enjoy. And marky does swift run hair follicle drug test or just urine?
