    I started the cfl training for crst at advanced school of driving in Fontana, Ca anyways I'm going to give you a day by day break Down and I will try to answer your questions.

    Day 1: Today was a long day first a watch a video made in the 80s about the general knowledge and another one on the combination test. After that we filled out our contracts then took our drug test and physical our homework is to study these cdl tests for a practice test tomorrow. We take the cdl test at the DMV on Wednesday.

    We that's it for today I'll update u tomorrow I'm not being too descriptive as Im doing this on my iPhone.

    yea I heard they have a refresher course. As far as my training is going got my permit and learned the cola test. Still working on getting the pretrip down. As far as I know crst is good for newcomers and u better like driving with a co driver. As soon as I get atleast a year of experience I'm going with either Werner schieder or England. Anyways I already found my co driver and all is good. We start driving on Monday. I'll try to keep u guys as up to date as I can but like I said I'm using my iPhone so it's a bit difficult.

    Colvin you probably met one my last student there. I cant give out names here since its a violation of the terms. But truck 1054, one of the Petes. If he is still there smack him upside the head and tell him I said hi.

    Well as soon as I can I'm going to go to another company this is just getting my foot through the door. The only bad thing so far is they said I would get dinner m-f but apparently not.
