    I HAVE ARRIVED . Got picked up at the airport by the shuttle, we stopped and picked up 3 guys that were at Perkins on our way, one was Ray. We got back to the terminal, took a walk around and I am more excited. 2 Doves I will take some pictures this is going to be great we are moved into our room we are at the end of the hall for less foot traffic outside our room. I will post more later. I will also tell my wife to get on the forum she will be CAGEwife or CAGEmom I am sure.

    What someone said about a large class is right...some won't think they need the practice, and by the end, sadly, some will be sent home for various reasons.....ya know you made it when they have you filling out payroll stuff!

    Day 1

    Classroom, got lots of books and a folder with test we have 1 week to complete. I needed a new drug test and 2 people needed HPE's so we were gone until about 12:30, returned to the others practicing 45 into a dock. I did not have time to practice we were back in class at 1 for more paperwork a couple power point presentations and then a lesson on the brake system. We also saw slides of where we were going to be driving tomorrow. 5 came and I got the keys to the wagon. Drove to target to get a pancho and a few other things, then Walmart to send a money gram then subway in Walmart. Got back to terminal at and the Ray and I spent about 2 hours practicing backing and driving around shifting in the MUD, yes all the W/S drivers now I get the MUDsoula not Missoula . Now it is 8:30 back inside relaxing in my room.

    Looking forward to driving tomorrow.

    Until tomorrow......
