Headed to Salem, Or

right on Y2K i wish you all the best! good luck and hopefully you make it down here and get your chance at May!

MAY ORIENTATION DAY 2:

Pretty simple, just classwork. Learning about company policies, idle time, quallcomm system, Comdata/comchecks. safety info, reall easy, the hardest part of today will be reading the Driver Reference Manual tonight to study for the test tomorrow (which i'm told is very easy), after class i sat in the drivers lounge and talked with some drivers that were there, they were all really great people who had a lot of stories to share, they didn't mind that i was a greenhorn at all which i found very comforting, it's nice to talk to experienced drivers and not be shot down for being a newbe. Now tonight is my last night at the hotel so i'll probably get a trainer tomorrow (no guarantee) but it will be the last night i'll be available to update you on my situation 'till i find another computer, so untill then i wish you all the best!

 

Thank you and good luck to you as well! they told me since i'm in the hotel here, to bring all my stuff with me to class today, they said they'll "probably" have a trainer for me after class, in which case i won't be able to update this thread for a while but i'll do my best. can't wait to hit the road, i'm finally starting my new lifestyle. take care everyone! i'll update when i can.

 

well i'm with my trainer, at his house actually, great guy, offered to let me stay at his place while we wait for his truck to get out of the shop, hopefully if it's out of the shop today we'll be taking a load out of Brooks, Or headed to Billings, MT around midnight or 1am. since i stayed at a hotel for orientation they got me a trainer on the last day, no wait.
