    :biggrin_25525:hey everyone, 9 days and counting til I leave for school with Millis transfer. I have everything on my list they sent me with exception of the physical have an appointment for that tomorrow. then I should be all set. Just wondering if anyone with experience in this matter can think of anything I might need that is not on the list? Any replies would be appreciated, and if anyone is currently in training if they could fill us in that would be cool too... thanks

    where you going for training?
    i am going through it as we speak in wisconsin
    i think youll like it
    we have a good group of guys in my class and days go by fast and we have fun
    once you start working on the range the days start goin gby real fast
    alot to learn with all the different backing maneuvers but i am sure youll get it
    they will teach you till you do get it
    then its on the road
    bring whatever you have to to make your down time more entertaining
    laptop with aircard would probably be helpful if you have one
    in wisconsin we had harold as a trainer
    ncie guy, real patient , and very fair
    cant say anything negative about anything i have seen
    ive also met alot of drivers and havent heard anyone complain
    on the contrary everyone seems to be happy even though there have been some cutbacks due to the crappy economy
    good luck
     
    truckerjeff Thanks this.

    Only cut backs i know of have been when they turned down the trucks last year and just in the last week or two they cut the trainers pay by .03 cent a mile. As of now that is all i know that have happened.
