    I am at the whispering woods hotel and convention center in Olive branch.Tomorrow is day 1 physical and drug test. They put me in a nice room on the third floor. This is a non smoking hotel but every room has a sliding glass door. I have a very small patio i can step out on so thats cool. Its suppose to sleet and freezing rain all day tomorrow here 3 to 5 inch's from 5 am till 4 pm,so i am curious to see if we actually start tomorrow.
    The van is suppose to be here to take us to the terminal around 7 am I think. They have a small work out room here at the hotel. No bikes :(, but i did ten on the tread. Cool i can try and get some of this gut off while im here. They put all students in double rooms, not sure why, but hey whatever. I can sleep in one, and jump in the other :)
    Well any questions just ask. Any tips. Im listing. Ill update tomorrow after i hopefully pass my physical :biggrin_25524:
    yep asking for God's help on that one. Bless you all, and stay safe on the roads.

    Well day 1 I had some tasty eggs sausage,and coffee. left in the hotel shuttle a little after 7 am with around ten others going to Knight. Had my license and social copied filled out a little paper work, pre employment,drug test stuff. met my recruiter. my drug tester left at 11 this morning, so they say ill take that tomorrow, also the physical place was closed, so thats tomorrow also if the weather permits. the roads here are iced over.
    Had pizza hut for lunch in my class, and another group had subway. Hope I have subway tomorrow though due to sub has less calories, so I can loose some pounds. left early due to ice on roads. around 3 pm. I think the normal time is 4:30 or 5 not sure.
    80% of the day i sat around playing on my phone,or went out side and had a cold smoking experience.
    got back to hotel ate a banana drunk some coffee,and sunny d then got in a little tread and bar bell in the gym here.
    Every one at Knight seems really nice, especially my recruiter heather. She is a sweetheart. Well I was hoping tonight I would be talking about how I passed my physical. Oh well maybe tomorrow the good Lord willing.
    talk to you tomorrow. God bless, and stay safe.

    Out today. safety told recruiter and they did not give the recruiter a reason. I was givin a 30 day health card yesterday and told i would have to take a sleep study. Im also on anti depressant meds. So i figure its one or a combo of both being 150 lbs overweight and the pills.
    I guess they thought i was high risk. well if one here could please help out, and tell of a trucking company i could go through school with that would take me. im listinig. thanks
    Glad i have my anti depressants. This sucks hardcore.

    I know, just wanted to see when someone would catch it. Congrats, figured you'd probably be the one.
