    Not off to a great start. After a two day round trip to greater Atlanta area, I am now at the hotel until Sunday . The truck is in the shop and my trainer had home time scheduled for Saturday

    Steal charlbs truck and go run. Only way to learn is go out and do it yourself. Forget the trainer lol My dad always told me, can't learn anything watching someone else!!

    And secondly, poor planning on company's part to put you out with a trainer who is coming to home time. Should have put you with him after coming off home time. But, I know I'm gonna get crucified for saying this.

    Not even close to funny! But if they let him, I'll be sure to clean it out completely and for good when I get over there this afternoon. ;) .... lol

    With any luck, it's in the body shop getting a face lift ... LOL

    Sooo ... you got a paid weekend, room, and a truck being fixed? Where's the downside? Relax and enjoy. :)

    You'll be in the grind soon enough I assure you. :D

    Could be worse... I stayed in the truck during my trainers hometime... ;-)

    I figured I might as well get used to it... LOL

    Enjoy the hotel and keep studying for the tests.

    While I won't crucify you maybe we are short on trainers and a quick short run was better than sitting in a hotel for a week waiting for Monday to roll round. {shrug}
