Troops To Transportation (Employment Inquiry)

Day 16:

That's it! I'm complete. Tested out on Pre-trip and Air-brakes this morning. Instructor said that was the best pre-trip he has seen since he's been here. I was thorough and didn't miss anything. I almost forgot to take the key with me but i caught myself when he gave me a look. I stopped and thought about it.
This afternoon I practiced blind side parellel and because most of my class mates were out doing Road 7's I was able to practice and practice. I was a first time go and closed out my score sheet. Very satisfying feeling being complete. I really feel like a learned alot. Will be back here in October for my 40 hour refresher and I'll be ready to get on the road. Thank to everyone in here that gave me encouragment when I was feeling frustrated! @G13Tomcat and @Astrong and everyone else. I will graduate tomorrow at 1000 and then head home to the wife and kids.

 

Officially graduated and and have my diploma. Headed back to Hinesville/Fort Stewart.

 

Just passed my HAZMAT and Tanker endorsements. Missed Doubles/Triples by one. I may come back later and get it but not planning on doing and Doubles/Triples.

 

I'm going to try to get on with Schneider Bulk. When I go to their site it doesn't have any openings in my area so will probably need to call a recruiter. Tankers is definitely where its at.

 

Yes @Chinatown I just been going through all the forums and I can see I need to go Tanker. I'm kind of worried about the Schneider Bulk training. It seems like there is a lot of math involved. I'm not the greatest at math but with a calculator I will be fine I hope. Also kinda worried about this balance beam test. Sounds kind of intimidating. Don't want to stumble and be done. I will practice up before I go though.
