    both tests are easy. I just got back from my 28 days with my trainer. the agility test is getting in and out of truck, the catwalk, checking the kingpin, and getting up in the back of the trailer. what surprises me, is all the bubbas, who have stomachs dragging the ground, how do they pass these tests. In my opinion, they do not need to be driving. they are unsafe and unhealthy to drive.

    Beans,

    I never did make it to crst....Took a better offer with an independent owner. i think I made a wise choice... I will be going to their orientation next Tuesday 11/3. I am very excited. Glad you made it through training!!

    yea tests are easy, as far as trucks, they do have some decent trucks, me and my co-driver before i left got a 2009 with only 60k miles on it, it was a sweet truck besides the fact it was governed at 65 but then again sometimes you really dont need to go any faster hah

    It's an option 1 day Orientation 28 days with trainer then 3 more days of orientation followed by 4 days of home time Or you can due 4 days of Orientation 28 days with trainer then 6 Days at home then go out with co driver. I choose the One day Orientation simply to start making money sooner it's not much money but beats nothing I have made for the last 4 weeks lol

    Your class was the last to have that option, right? Or have they changed things again?
