    Sept 5, 2014 Day 14 Week 3

    As you all know I already passed my CDL "A" test yesterday. Started the day with a drug test, no big deal as I have had over 100 in the past. A piece of advice to all, once they seal up your bottles sign the seal on the bag...an extra level of protection for you, I also snap a quick photo of it on my phone. Yeah the girl thought I was crazzy but its our living here were talking about! Then to the range to practice, and I drove for about 2 hours before the tester came to test me. Again, I can not say enough about the high level of instruction at Millis and the amount of behind the wheel time we got. Of coarse passing is great, but I know that is just a small step in my trucking life.

    Yes I will be, I start next week on the 15th. Looking forward to it and with your insight, even though I have driven before oh so long ago, I am not as nervous. Again glad to hear that you passed and congrats again. I am also glad it sounds like I made the correct choice so far in companies. Please I hope you continue with the post all the way through till you reach your first load in your own truck.
     
    CaptainDaveG Thanks this.

    Week 4 New Hire
    Ok this often takes 2 days. Ours was 2.5 as it took longer to get our drug test results. Let me say doing all this paperwork sucks! Dont get me wrong I cant wait to get going and make some BANK. But we all know insurance companies and 401 stuff is ALOT of questions, know your familys SS numbers . You take a class photo at the end, you get 5 FREE shirts, even a big guy like me they had my size :) oh and a hat, again all high quality stuff. I know some of you have asked will I continue this...YES, I leave on Monday with "R" my trainer for 15000 miles. I am looking forward to sone home time the next few days, some home cooking and time with loved ones. We learned alot in 3 weeks.
