    Load securment day 5. Lot of info to soak in, but not to bad if you pay attention. Oh acting like a jack@$$ is not advised. They really watch how you are and what you say so if you want to act like a kid stay home and play video games, cuz thats where you'll be.

    Yup. A lot of people don't like Nate but he's not that bad. Just wants you to listen and do what your told. He's only got 3 days (really 2) to show you load securement.

    Nate's a great guy. You can learn a hell of a lot of great info from him. Yes I laughed to myself when there was guys acting like kids in my class when I went through and just figured they would be gone or just would not last at TMC.

    How is George? He was my kminda guy. Straight forward and was a Marine to so thats why I got along with him.

    Good luck guys hope to see you out here soon.

    I liked both Nate and George as well.

    If all goes well with my road test tomorrow I'll be in my own truck by tomorrow night.
