    It comes out of the hitch - and stores flat :biggrin_25525: well the bucket doesn't - but if you use a bag it would!!

    I'll have to see if my trainer has a porta poo-poo in his truck.

    A good 5 gallon bucket and a couple 2x4's lined with a trash bag makes for a good porta pooper! Stores well right in the spare tire on the catwalk.

    Time to Saddle Up. :biggrin_25511:

    Hello Everyone.

    I figured it would be best to post before the discussion on poo poo containment and disposal reaches new heights.

    The doctor has signed my CPAP document. It's been turned in to Central Refrigerated and yes, boys and girls, I'm coded.....I'm a driver for Central.

    I will leave with my trainer by Wednesday the latest, but they're trying for earlier in the week. To be safe, I'll be ready to go by Saturday morning.

    So it looks like I'll begin posting from the road. I was going to start another thread but changed my mind as I still consider this part of the new driver learning curve. I think a continuous training thread would be more appropriate. Maybe I'll start a new Central thread once I go solo.

    That's the latest.

    Thanks chompi. :biggrin_25514:

    Thanks for reading.

    Glad you got everything taken care of and are officially a Central driver now!

    I hope they are able to get you out on the road soon and that you get paired with an excellent trainer right off the bat!

    I look forward to continuing to follow your journey through training and out into your solo career. I also look forward to some good first hand experience reading about Central as I haven't really read/heard much about them.

    Let us know as soon as you know anything more definite about when you start training.

    Thanks Katey. :biggrin_25514:

    Wednesday is a definite. They're trying to get me out sooner. Taking almost a week to get a document signed off screwed them up a little.

    I even have a tag to hang from my mirror so I can park in their secured parking area. :biggrin_255:
