    No. He's with a trainer now. Still waiting for my trainer assignment. Need to get on the road. I'm running low on dollars.

    Yeah I am out on the road with a trainer. I am doing everything great except backing. That split axle makes backing really hard. We did a little practice tonight in the truckstop.

    Well.... still waiting... talked to the guy I went to school with, he got with his trainer today. Called in to my fm today to hopefully get an update and to ask a question, but forgot that it is Sunday... did some work inside the house, started planning what I will do tomorrow since I can only assume that I'll be waiting some more. Was going to hang and run wire to some outdoor speakers, and give the cars a post winter wash. Checked the weather. Rain all day tomorrow... fml. Hopefully tomorrow I'll at least be given a time frame. I can't afford to wait much longer.

    I'm at 9 days since graduating rdtc and 7 days since completing securement training. 5 days after I told them i can and want to get on the road. (Told them this time frame on hire day)I've been singing the praises of roehl since I started and haven't been properly annoyed with anything until this. If I can't get a general time frame tomorrow, I will start putting in applications elsewhere.

    That's pretty surprising. They usually want you out there sooner rather than later after school so you retain most of what you learned. Hopefully Plenz can get some answers for you.

    Hey, just settle down and don't make a rash decision based out of emotion. I know it has been a week but I am sure they are trying to get you a trainer. They had a hard time finding someone for me. I had to take a train, hotel and really expensive cab to make it to my trainer. They paid a lot of money to make it happen. They will get you out there as soon as they can I am sure. Just be a little more patient. Maybe Plenz can help you out.

    I hope Plenz can help me out and I hope when I call tomorrow they will tell me that they have someone lined up for me and will be by in the next couple days, or that I'm taking a bus to the Akron drop yard, or to Gary, or Ellenwood, or where ever. I want to work for Roehl since they have treated me and everyone around me very well since I started the training process, but the bottom line is I've been a month without a paycheck, and I need to be bringing money home. I understand anywhere else and I may be waiting even longer. If that's the case, I'll stick it out with Roehl, but there a few local companies I've had my eye on when I started this journey and may see what they have to say.
