    if she didn't agree to letting her finisher go on hometime while training then the finisher is in the wrong and should be reported but being this close to finishing might have to bite the tongue and hope the time goes fast hope it works out for the both of u

    That's the plan, she already emailed her advisor. And let him know of the situation. She doesn't want a new trainer cuz she'd have to wait weeks. And then she will fill out the performance review they have u fill out after ur done training.

    Yeah she wasn't informed hntil after they left and we're headed out with a load.

    Thanks Hollywood!

    Yeah they usually like to send the spouse that's waiting out to be a solo driver. But I'm gonna make sure the shop goes over my truck and that I'm extra thorough haha keep finding things that need checked out.

    My finisher says generally if it's just a week of waiting they'll let me stay in my truck and wait as long as I don't bug haha. But either way I'm gonna fight to wait for the wife. I didn't sign on to be a solo driver even if it's just a week. I signed on as a team member with my wife. Of course I signed the forced dispatch thing. But CFI has been great with working with us, they love the husband and wife teams and will accommodate you no matter what you want. Guess we'll see how it goes.

    750k miles and I saw something I've never seen before... the stop light in Adair Oklahoma(the first little town south of Big Cabin) was green today... never made that light heading north or south.

    In honor of 4/20...all terminals will be conducting randoms...

    Rooster you so funny!!!

    Choctaw in Durant, OK ...head to the casino for some grub!

    That’s what I love about casinos... plenty of parking, lots of food choices and usually get a ride to the truck. There’s one east of San Diego on 8 that I love. A big slab of prime rib and sushi made to order mmmmmmmmmmm
    That’s it!!! Connie please get me a load to San Diego!!!!

    @doninwooster this is where we hang so you don't have to start a new thread everytime you want to say something.
    You are officially welcomed here as the newest grasshopper. When you get your cdl you will be known as Baby trucker.

    When you go solo we will call you driver.

    I predict that will be the 3rd week in June.
