Going to Stevens

Alright, today is the day I leave! I'm excited to go! 23 hours on the bus!! Matt

 

Yep, I'll be there after schooling, so I'll probably see you then. What's your name by the way?

Sounds good man. I'll keep you posted on my progress and maybe I'll meet you soon.

Hey guys,

Alright so I got into Denver around about 11am yesterday after 23 hours on the bus. Pretty uneventful, but still sucked and I slept about an hour in total. Once in the bus station, I called the shuttle driver and he came and picked a few of us up within about an hour. Then we drove about 45 mins back to the small, small town of Keenesburg, CO.

He showed us around the town and we picked up the CDL manuals at the school and then he dropped us off at our house and told us we were free for the rest of the day, and to be ready at 7:15 for drug screens and physicals.

I spent the afternoon getting groceries at Family Dollar and eating in the Korner Street Cafe with a couple guys. The chicken chimichanga was absolutely excellent and shocked the hell out of me. I'm from Arizona and know Mexican food well, and this was top notch. $7.50, can't beat it...

The house we are staying in is actually extremely nice. 3 bed 2 bathroom, very nice kitchen with everything you could need. 2 bunk beds in each room, so 4 guys. We have a total of 10 in the house. Everybody seems very nice.

Spent a lot of time studying so far, and passed the 3 practice tests for each of the 3 categories. General, air brakes, and combination. So 9 pre-tests in total and passed them all.

About to go to the doctor and then have a study session around noon. Looking forward to the week. I'll post again soon and try to answer questions. God Bless.

Matt
