    Glad to hear there's too much work. I like lots of work. So I'd like to clarity something. After I do my over the road and the upgrade, I go home for 5 days? Do we take are truck for the 5 days or do we wait 5 days to get are assigned truck? Just trying to get as much information as possible before I leave next week...

    Yea , unless u live close to the terminal u take the truck home , but if u live close u have to park there I think . If u park a truck at the terminal , u leave all ur things in it . They don't slip seat ..
    I didn't even go home right away , so I took a extra day off , and they had no problem with that either

    Good luck to ya man , one word of advise . Pay attention to everything they tell u.

    Ok thanks for the heads up. Do you have any standard runs or do you go all over the 48 states? What kind of truck did you get assigned?

    What all did you take to training with you? Cuz I'm thinking of just getting a sleeping bag at a later date so I don't have to lug it around the whole time lol and should I get an atlas beforehand or just wait on that as well? Lol I'm so nervous and excited lol

    well im local. so prob not the best person to answer. but if you go otr its 48. if you live in midwest its regional. theres only dedicated for teams mainly. some solo. and the truck you either gonna get freightliner cascadia , peterbilt or volvo. prob not volvo.

    ya nyc is usually no forced but they might make you sit if you say no. and just take a duffel bag with some sleeping bag. just enough for 6-7 days then you wash your clothes.
