    I pray I get a good mentor. I just want to get my six weeks done and hopefully he teaches me what I need to learn.

    They put you up in a comfort inn, not to shabby. Make sure you bring all of your documents. I mean all of them. Better to be over prepared then under. Make sure you can double clutch. 4 guys got sent home for not double clutching. Then 3 more today for incomplete paperwork.
    Pay starts the day you leave with your mentor.

    You will get out, our snow all melted today. Still a bit in Spokane where my daughter is in college.
    My recruiter called today to check in. I asked about the DMV h6. She didn't know what I was talking about. She has been very nice but this scares me!
    Swift school starts Monday, hope I can get to Idaho

    A h6 is basically a DMV report.

    By way of email, I asked my recruiter if I needed to get a DMV report and she said that all is good and that I didn't need it. I hope she knows what she is talking about. lol

    All I know is we had 2 guys sent home due to not having DMV reports. Better safe than sorry. But it very well may vary state to state. I can only speak for California.

    I'm going to start orientation on Monday in Phoenix. I was thinking about going ahead and getting my DMV report just to be safe. I was also thinking about printing the email out and taking it.
