    Yeah I hear ya. I talked to Stevens for a bit, sounds like the only plus is I'd only have to ride for a trainer for 2 weeks as opposed to being a C seat driver for prime.

    If ya aren't going to be a truck driver after 160 hours of third party instruction, do you really suppose another 2 weeks is going to do it? They sit a lot too.

    When my dad was driving OTR one of the things he told me as I was learning to drive is "the day you think you've learned everything there is to learn about trucking and you feel like you've done it all is the day you need to turn in your keys."

    I remember sitting in orientation and hear so many students to claim this and claim that.. It was funny watching the instructors shoot them down.. Orientation will be mind numbing for the first 2-3 days..

    No BubbaD, I have alot of book knowledge, nothing greater than that, my recruiter has giving so much of his time to me, I know the basic, have a clean dvr, and good bill of health, I hope we both make it, stay in touch
