    Good luck to all of you guys...remember if youre trainer doesnt pay attention to you, or is some one you have a hard time getting along with, call dispatch asap and get the hell off that truck, also make sure you have your dispatchers number, and one of the psd heads numbers...I made the mistake of staying on the truck with a poor trainer for 3 weeks, got my trainer switched, and it was the diffrence between passing or failing

    Thanks for the advice man. I'm about to step on the greyhound now. Reffink, look for the big biker guy with a mohawk and tattoos when you get out there. That will be me.

    To extend what Dogchimp said... In the Friday morning roll call, you will get a handout that has several phone numbers on it. At the top is a space for your (well, your instructor's) fleet manager. They are the first person you call if you have a problem. The next few are Linda, Steve, and Stan. You will probably meet Stan during orientation. When you go up to meet your FM, take a minute to introduce yourself to Linda and Steve. These are the two in charge of the FMs.

    Obviously, if there is a serious issue on the truck (like sexual harassment or physical threats), call Prime Security ASAP! You'll go over all this in the Thursday morning class, after the benefits talk (which you can't sign up for) and the sexual harassment video (which you will have already seen at least once) try to put you to sleep. :)

    Steve Larson is the manager for the FM's. Linda Brown is the manager for the student lists and assignments.

    Point taken. However, she is above the FMs when it comes to student/trainee issues. All I know is that she's the one I go smile at on a regular basis... :)

    Day one has been pretty decent. My class has like 65 people so medical and interviews took a decent amount of time. Paul did my interview. These are all good guys here if you don't try to hide #### from them.

    Your class will be under 50 by the time Friday afternoon rolls around.

    I was sitting in the office waiting area this afternoon, and three different people came in and asked if this was the doctor's office. All carrying gold packets...
