I'm in phase 2 with my driver trainer and we shutdown last night at a pilot and he went home for a day left me here in the truck until tommorow morning we roll out.

First night sleeping I had a lot lizard come to my door I nodded my head go away and she left. Then when I went to bed for the night I set the Opti idle because we have an Epu and when I was in a deep sleep when the truck fired up I jumped out of my bunk thinking I was in a nightmare and the truck was moving! Lol it was scary I was shaking like a leaf it was nuts haha. But I hear this is common for newbies thinking they are dreaming the truck is rolling away. Man I jumped down from that top bunk.and into that driver seat quicker then a bat out of hell. Sat there shaking and woke up realizing everything was fine it's just doing it's thing.

What a night haha Other then that I got the best shower of my life here. The water pressure and volume on these showers are no joke. Water comes out like 10 gallons a minute!

Wow, when I trained and went home for weekend I'd offer trainee choice, come to house with me, hotel or stay in truck.
