    Anyone else on this forum going to be attending with me? I'll be going to Salt Lake City Utah. Anyone who has already been through the training program have any advice?

    Being this is the Central Ref section im assuming your going to Central, lol. Its been years since I was there, dont know if these guys are still there but Jeff, Tom, and Big Joe are some great guys and you can learn alot from them. Just listen to what they tell you and you will do fine. Especially with Tom. Dont be afraid to ask question, just dont ask stupid questions like what brand 5th wheel the truck has. Yes when I was there someone asked that question. He wanted to know what brand every part on the truck was. It gets annoying.

    Do a week of what? No I'm just hoping on the bud and taking off. I have been studying the cdl manual. But its going to be a two day bus ride. You should try and talk to your recruiter and see if you can start with me on the 25.

    This is an excerpt of the email that I have:

    ... You will be here in Federal Way the first week for those of you that live over 50 miles we can put you up in a hotel for the first week which we will pay for. You will need to bring money for your own food. After the first week that Saturday we will send you to Utah by Greyhound...

    Be sure to say hello to Butterfly when you see her. She drives a Red Pete with tinted windows and a mirror visor. She is a nice lady. She's also one of the owner/ops.

    Draped up and drifted out. Know what I'm talking about? Three in the morning, just stashed up my stash spot.

    Maybe it's 'cause you don't have a local facility for them to do the preliminary stuff and they just let Utah handle it.
