    Yeppers, you are absolutely correct. Good thing about it though is that you will get credit for 2 days of class.

    I wonder about the guy like me and Dodge440? I haven't been told anything like that from my recruiter. She is sweet but obviously over worked. Maybe when a I call her on the 1st she will tell me about it. If I remember I will ask.

    Probably something remedial.

    When or how do you get into this online class? Just before orientation? I would love to get it over with now.

    What was in it?

    I stand corrected. Those who have a class A and do not have to go to the 3 week school, will probably not take the online course because it is part of the school requirement. Your recruiter will give you the user name and password shortly before you start classes.

    not sure in all the little insites but since i am going thru the school i was told i had to do it. not a big deal to me. and rd i like that statement it means i am getting that much closer. i was told its 5 to 6 hours to do and had 7 days to get it turned in. guess what i have been working on it since noon my time and i only have three modules complete. its funny how much i have forgot :biggrin_25513:

    It took me days, LOL. For some reason, after I completed a module, it did not show up as completed. Finally I called my recruiter thinking I was doing something wrong. She game me a number to call for technical problems. I found out that their software was not compatible with firefox, which I was using.

    It consists of general knowledge, hazmat, air brakes, and combination vehicles (?). Comes in handy to have your state's cdl manual handy while going through it.


    I got to drive around the KC KS area yesterday. Shifting did not come back to me as easily as I expected. More of the same today.
