My Prime Adventure

Sounds like you're having no real problems... great

Hang in there

(Got my permit today... yay!)

CT in KS

 

Congratulations on all the good thingI agree hanging out is a good thing. Especially over at the millennium building. The other drivers are really helpful. They don't treat you like a second rate person cause your a student. They offer advice from their experiences. I'll be in Springfield again the 29th through the 31st.

 

Thanks Seebs, will do. I should be there by 1pm Monday if everything goes as plan so I will check with you once I get settled; if you are still there. Would like to meet you but know you are anxious to get on to the next stage. Good luck with everything and see you next week (maybe)...

 

Oh yeah Seebs, I almost forgot. I took my CDL permit test today. I passed air brakes and combination but screwed up on general knowledge. There was some kid taking his driver's exam in the same computer lab and he was talking and laughing with someone and kept distracting me. I missed it by one question! I have to go back tomorrow and take that part again and I should pass with no problem. I am definitely taking your advice on making sure I have that permit when I get there.

 

I attend prime on the 19 I already have my permit just wonder if any one could tell me wat to expect

 

Hey Seebs. I've been reading your posts. Thanks man for all the good info. I start orientation on the 26th and can hardly wait. I feel like all my bases are covered. I haven't lied about anything, am physically fit, no criminal history, have a clean driving record, never done drugs & not a dumb #####.

Other than the above mentioned, are there any other reasons are given an invitation to kick rocks?

 

You'll note that the above list contains a lot of items that many folks would consider "Bravo Sierra." Keep that in mind...

Good so far...

Remember the "Bravo Sierra" above? Well guess what truck driving in the so-called "real world" involves? Putting up with buckets full of "Bravo Sierra" on a daily basis. If you blow up at the stuff served-up at orientation, you probably will end up "kicking rocks." That and being consistently late for things during orientation. Drinking. Fighting. Etc...

 

Thanks IP. Great advice. Fortunately, my former career was in mental and geriatric health, which comes with 55 gallon drums of "Brave Sierra". I guess the question is, can I deal with it from those who don't have a clinical diagnosis. I feel confident I will survive, after all, not much can surpass the "crazy" of the mentally ill.
