    So I finished Millngton(Memphis) TN training and had a week off. On Greyhound now on way to Richmond for driving training. It's to my understanding that it's one week training and Friday, I go fo CDL License from 3rd party in PA for $220. But, a few friends from the academy are saying they have on their papers that they start tomorrow in Richmond training with me, but the CDL testing isn't for 2 weeks. So is the Richmond training 1 week, and they have to wait a week in VA for an available time, or is it 2 weeks training here in Richmond? And if it is 1 week and they have to wait for a week, I am wondering if I have to wait too. My paper just says TBD. But that's because they didn't even know when I was getting to Richmond for training.

    Thing that gots me upset was I called a few times Friday to get bus ticket number and never got it until Sat. By time I got to terminal on Sunday 9 a.m. for a 11 a.m. bus they were full. So now I am riding from 7:15p.m. until 2:30 a.m. Supposed to use Mo's Taxi. Called him, and he didn't seem to want to get me at 2:30 a.m. How is this my fault? He said 'Call me when you get there and we'll see". So I am gonna get there at 2:30 a.m., wait until 3a.m. for him to get there IF he gets there, then get to hotel at 3:30, be checked in, and everything by 4. 1 hour to sleep before getting up to get ready to truck it. So I guess I'll just stay awake, or try like heck to nap for 3 hours here on bus. What worries me is if he don't pick me up, then what? Truck is supposed to pick us up at hotel at 6 a.m. and the terminal doesn't open till 7 a.m. So I can't even call and tell them where I am or why I am late until I am late. Called my old roommates, hopefully they will get message across if I don't make it. Sigh, way to go greyhound.

    Are the friends also from Pa? If not they have to wait for the available testing where they are from.
