Well finished my sleep test on Monday. The test was not the most pleasant thing ever. Trying to sleep with 40 cords attached to you and things put up your nose is not very easy. Still got red marks on my chest from pulling off the tape and such.
Got my card today as they were too busy yesterday to finish my paperwork. So I got to spend some time on the pad which in a nut shell is just 7 hours of doing the pretrip over and over (in 100+ weather). I was kind of hoping we'd get some truck time, but seems nothing happens till you actually get an instructor.
Anyway, now just relaxing in the ac, trying to get rid of my heat headache, enjoying my tea and old tv shows.
Hopefully i'll find an instructor tomorrow. Would love to get out on the road. -
Truck time was on Friday, I guess you missed out with your sleep deal.
Students do some straightline backing in the morning with the new Instructor graduates... then shifting practice bobtail in the industrial park.
After that, the pad is so packed with tests that the student stragglers waiting for instructors are stuck watching or practicing pre-trips. -
Hope to see you out on the road soon seebs! Instructors are hard to come by. I got lucky n one chose me because I don't smoke. He probably regrets it...
