    Good luck

    You'll do fine

    The first day they do the physical, drug test & road test first thing in the morning in that order. Be the first so you can spend the rest of the day chillin. There is a lot of downtime the first day.

    Give it a shot. It's easy to change if you don't like it. :)

    I hated delivering to Tractor Supply stores. Some of them are in tight spots.

    Picking up the loads on the other hand from Hagerstown, MD is easy. Nice and big.

    Plus, the truck stop across the street from the Pilot has awesome food.
