    Just finished up my training with TDA here in sacramento, nailed my driving test on the first try! Got dinged some points on my backing, but driving I missed 0 points =D. Heading down to Lathrop for swift orientation tomorrow night, hopefully everything goes well! Just wanted to gloat a bit.

    The next biggest thrill you will have is the first time you sit in YOUR assigned truck. Mine was a POS International 9400i, and for about 10-15 minutes, it was the most beautiful truck I'd ever seen.

    Good luck, and be safe out there, we already have too many maniacs

    Good Job! Now your trainer will tell you about the way it really is. I started out with Swift. My brother and I did it together. Because we were team they gave us a bran spankin new 1996 Freightliner FLD.. They had just started putting that lightning bolt on all the trucks and trailers. Befor that it was just two blue stripes. They had the trucks governed at 58mph. Yup. I learned to ride the fog line and hang on. Good Luck to ya. Peace

    Haha thanks guys; That sounds like good times countrycruisers, although I dont know if I could be paired up with my brother for that long :eek: haha. Yeah I cant wait for them to assign me my own truck, that will be a good day. I just hope I have a good experience with swift, given their reputation and all. Im staying positive!
