    What's it been like driving while the trainer sleeps? Since I heard Swift team drives during training. Do you just pull over when you're hungry or?

    Wow that is great CasanovaCruiser I heard they had improved a lot. I watched one guy from Swift attempt to hook to a trailer for 45 minutes and still not get it. I know that it is on him but it did kind of put doubt in me.

    Haha. Well at least there is a positive. I am so stressed out with trying to pick the right place. It is kinda all on me, so I am the one that will be to blame if I choose the wrong one.

    gotta take the intelligence level of some, add salt, then spit out.

    you already claim you are taking college courses. are they online or actual brick and mortar school?

    if you think back to what you said, you a re paying for those, and cannot afford paying for driving training. could it be that when you called any of these companies, or filled out the apps, you mentioned this college stuff?

    it "could be" they see you are strapped with debt, and may NOT want to take you on.

    or as i said, you could be in a fringe area of your state, where freight lanes are non-existent.

    when i was in training, back in the days of horses and buckwagons. if i was hungry i stopped to eat. trainer ate as well.

    any trainer i ever had told me if i am ever tired, pull over and stop, and either wake him, or just take a nap over the wheel.

    those were the days of training right, compared to today's nitwit trainers who are no more a driver than a diaper wearing student driver themselves.

    I actually did not tell them that I currently taking Psychology classes. So no I am not a dumb blonde. Or that I had financial aid. Apparantly West Virginia has a bad rep everywhere. I will be honest many people here live off of the system but as long as I can breathe on my own, I refuse to be one of them.

    ok now you do know, i did NOT call you a dumb blonde, right?

    i was merely asking if you gave them any of that information, as in almost all applications they want to know your life's story.

    my "thoughts were" that if you gave them too much info, they may see that you already have too much debt and may not be able to either survive, or pay them back.

    now, that's all i was trying to convey, nothing else.
