    Ok day 1 down. We started right off the bat learning things for our cdl- permit. Once the ladies got in the office we finalized some paper work on how we are paying for the school and what not. I have to go take a dot drug test in the morning.

    The material seemed really foreign. I'm hoping it slows down a bit in my head tomorrow. I'm gonna study some on my own. We will be learning on eaton 10 speeds.

    My first choice Maverick called me this evening on my way home and said everything was a go. I'm 95% sure this is where I wanna go. Them having automatic's has me a little hesitant, although it seems like it would be less stress. I just don't wanna forget how to drive a manual if I ever change companies that use manuals.

    Thank you for your service. Autos are not bad at all. You can paddle shift when you switch it to manual and the two auto modes are economy and performance.

    Day 3 is down. We've finished all the sections and are just taking practice test after practice test. I'm hoping we will see most of the questions by the time they come to give us the test lol.
