    I am currently almost ready to test out, but my instructor and FM have stuck me in a hotel outside of orlando for two nights while he takes home time for a week, and they send another guy to pick me up on friday. . .the reason why I am questioning this move is this is the tail end of my fourth week of training, and I am losing two days, my old instructor never bothered to teach me backing, and some people are saying that if I dont test out on friday, then prime will be done with me, and send me packing. . .surely this situation is an exception, and the fact that my instructor kept putting off teaching me backing is a breach of the contract with prime? I dont know if I need to call the PSD people, sit back and relax, or what to do right now, but this sitting in a hotel knowing I need to test out soon, and not having backed an inch dosent feel right :-/

    Sit down and relax, when your new PSD trainer gets there just let him know about the backing issues and he should square u away when you get back to Springfield.
    Alot of the instructors do the same thing on backing. I don't agree with it, but thats life.

    Dogchimp is in CDL instruction, and it's a bit different. Once he get's his CDL and is really in training, oh yeah, he'll be bumping every dock they get near.

    Relax, They are going to keep you who are they going to throw in that over priced freightshaker they have in Springfield if it isn't you? they will pass you out and then make you a team driver to help make those payments for that L/O that is in the hole. I'm sorry my backspace button is broke I mean they will get you the CDL and then run you with a trainer for as long as they can. Good Luck.
