    After I completed RDTC and securement training I went home to Richmond, Va. After a week I called and asked about being setup with a trainer, they didn't have anyone in my area so they paid for a rental car for me to drive up to the Gary Terminal, put me up in the hotel for a night, and the next morning I was paired up with my trainer.

    Smoking or non smoking?
    Van or Flatbed?

    Those factors matter. Pretty sure non smoking takes longer, but I only had to wait about a week. Just enough time to drive back to NJ from RDTC, do laundry and gear up to head out. Luckily my trainer lived in NJ so I only had to meet up at a service plaza on the pike

    When I finished RDTC on a Friday, I had a trainer that Tuesday pick me up near the Oak Creek, WI yard.

    Thanks guys!I would sure prefer non-smoking and van or flatbed, either one would be fine.The more I look into the more I'm considering flatbed.

    Flatbed is nice but trapping can be a pain. Flatbed can be mostly live load/unload. Not as much drop and hook as van can be.
