    You sound so excited, LOL. Yeah it gets boring. Just wait until you have been doing it a week, over and over and over.

    Do you guys get sent home if you fail both attempts at the straight line backing test?

    Yeah it would be hard to not pass that, but it sure scared a lot of students when they said that. They said if you can't get straight line backing then you sure couldn't get the rest of the maneuvers.

    thats pretty much what they said here. i think the big eye opener here was when the school supervisor told everyone that if to trucks touch both people were going home. :biggrin_25524:

    I am scheduled to go to orientation FEB 15th in Atlanta. I am not sure if I will go, I do not want to drive solo after my mentor has released me. I was lead to believe that I would be released from the mentor in about 6 wks to be a HAZMAT TEAM.
