    SLC ain't Springfield or Pittston for that matter. New guys are going to have to exercise patience.

    Ok, very good point. Do the smoking trainers out number the non smoking trainers?

    Basic gist i take it then is just suck it up buttercup and wait for a non smoker

    Yes.

    And wait man. You don't need your air supply cut off by his body order and second hand smoke. Makes for a long three months.

    When I went through (4 years ago) there were 120 in my group. On day two it was down to 80. By the end of the week it was down to 30.

    Most of them passed and went on to their own trucks.

    Today I can think it's like only four or five remaining people from my group that are still with the company .

    Make sure you have every thing your recruter told you to bring, especially your birth cert. Mo DMV are real touchy about them, no copies ie from hospital, will be accepted.
    We have one guy here now is waiting on his, leaves him one day only to pass all cdl tests. Right on the hairy edge.
    Be clear of any pschy drugs and sleep aid drugs, they will bounce you for 30 day clear up, and trip home is on your nickle.
