    things change all the time intrucking as far as loads, you should call your trainer and see what the deal is, is he a worker or is he lazy from what you can tell so far

    I've only known him for a week, but it's now almost midnight and I still haven't heard from him.

    I've decided to go to bed and see what happens in the morning. If I don't hear from him early, I'll call training and request a new trainer. I know that things happen and people need home time, but he can pick up a phone. I need to learn what I'm doing so that I can make some money and do it safely.

    I'm back with my trainer and we are in Denver. I hope to get all my hours in so that I can test out next week. I just need to live with the fact that I will have to learn most things on my own as I go.

    PM me when you go solo and will try to help you the best I can. I'll give you my number and help you if I can. I also learned, on my own, after I went solo. It can be done but is a pain in the arse.
