    LOL...

    PP probably means pre-plan. That is when they let you know you are getting a load after you deliver the one you are on.

    DT is DriverTech, the satellite comunication system.

    Thanks, so it looks like I might be getting approved for WIA funding to goto ASD in Fontana, CA to get my CDL, I see that the farthest west terminal is Phoenix, AZ is this correct? I'm in SoCal so thats not too far from home, is this a good place to work out of?

    They have a yard in Fontana, but it's not a real terminal.

    They will put you on a bus to the Dallas terminal then once orientation is over bus you again possibly to your trainer..... wherever that is.

    They used to do a small orientation at the Colton yard, but we have moved to Fontana. Talk to a recruiter. I don't have much info about west coast runs.

    don't get caught up in terminal locations. You will be running from shipper to shipper, not going to terminals. Generally places you want to avoid anyway.

    Indeed, most of the terminals suck. Repairs are generally better off at a dealership anyway, they'll route you to one.
