    In additional to what others already posted, you DO NOT have to drop your trailer before fueling when passing through, regardless of what may be posted at the fuel island stating no trailers allowed.

    Unless your in Bentonville. I did that one time and the fueler gave me greif about it. I just shrugged and said OK next time I'll drop my trailer. We don't go up there now unless its for a grass roots meeting. Problem solved!

    Congrats on passing your pre trip and road test!

    Welcome aboard driver!

    Mount Pleasant Iowa makes you drop your trailer. You can't get into their fuel bay hooked to one. Not enough room. I always ask when I'm at a DC I am unfamiliar with.

    I suppose there are GM DC's in other parts of the country where fueling while hooked to a trailer is not practical, especially among the newer GM DC's. At the 4 GM DC's in Texas I go to regularly (Sealy, Sanger, Palestine, and New Braunfels), it has not been a problem.

    Until it says conditional, you just have to wait. It depends on how many applicants background checks they have to go through.
