    This is what I'm afraid of being so close to upgrading myself.

    But let's all just calm down a bit.

    TNT requires minimum 30k miles. I have been keeping track of my own miles. Did you know what and where your mileage was while driving in training?

    What keeps me from flipping on others is to assume some responsibility. I can control myself, not others. I also wouldn't want to make a stink as some suggest at a company I'd be staying with.

    At the worst, 7k is like a week and a half, not a month like someone posted.

    Don't let these other folk get you worked up. This will work itself out just fine. Less than two weeks driving time, if they make you finish the miles. IF.

    So let's all have a Coke and a smile a let this man calm down to make rational, good, controlled choices.

    I'm sorry it happened to you. I'd be pissed as well, but don't lose perspective.

    Peace!

    Day keeps getting worse. Got an automated message from the TX DPS saying there is an issue with my medical.

    Can I go to bed and start today over?

    Nope, all miles count, if the wheels are turning they count towards your training, even if your not driving, other than deadhead miles thats is.

    That sucks too. But it's a good thing to find out about it now than at a weigh station or trooper that has you on the side of the road telling you that you can't drive drive the loaded truck anywhere. That would be a really bad day.

    you and I think alike on this matter,read what I said staring with page1.But I think its easier for us to say what we would do because we know all the garbage that happens with carriers and have been thru it.Affer the first few 100 times you finally had enough.Companies can only put drivers thru so much anger and stress before they finally do something,most take the easy way out and quit.
