    I can understand why they would want a delivery during the night , you see many trucks in the early hours around NYC.
    Glad it went well, keep the updates coming, where are you off to next?

    I don't have an assignment yet. I was told to go to Baltimore and call in the morning.

    you should be able to idle the truck up with the cruise on steering wheel and that will prevent it from shutting down by itself , i also drive a new prostar int. keeps my ac runing all the time.

    What did you have to do on the physical agility test? How long did you have to do training before the put you with a trainer on the road? I am looking to try to go with the at the beginning of November when I get out of school. Thanks for the info.

    The physical agility test wasn't hard. You do have to pick up a full tarp at least chest high. I don't know how much ot weighs but it is heavy.

    You will spend two weeks at either Pleasant Hill NC or Cuba AL training before you are assigned to a trainer. You will spend four weeks with him and then go to Cuba for one final week of evaluation before being sent out solo.

    I think all the information has been posted. You may have to look back on here to get more details.

    Blue Knight,

    I also want to thank you for the thread! I live in the western part of NC and researching companies. I will be going to CDL school in August and getting finished in mid October. I have several companies on my radar but after reading your thread and looking at their website I have put McElroy on my list.

    Thanks and keep safe and keep posting!!

    Todd
