    So far so good. I have the snoring roommate from hell. It sounds like wild animals fighting so that caused me to get 2 hours sleep last night. Orientation really doesnt start till Tuesday to Wednesday, Monday was practice? Anyway, Monday was physicals drug tests and some paperwork, drive tests. Some drivers were told to get their physical before they got there. We did get Arbys though. So will see how tomorrow goes, cant wait for the fighting wilder beasts to start fighting tonight. :biggrin_2556:

    That's the newest class, we're in the second week now at the range. 1/4 mile or so from where you are. Sucks about the roommate but at least it's not for long.

    You might need to grab the ear plugs dragon. Used to keep a set for sleeping when parked near Ref. trucks. Thank God my room mate does not snore. (Wife) What was the road test like?

    They have you go down the road to see how you handle and shift the truck, not hard. From that they will determine if you need to go out with a trainer and how long.

    Day 2 so far, more paperwork, logs and videos. At this point your still not hired till drugs tests come back. Until you get your driver code your not hired. You get your driver code end of the day of the last day of orientation. Will update more later....

    Still undecided and probably will be for a while. It's going to come down to which has a longer wait for a mentor and I've been told that's flatbed. I can't afford to wait long.
