As I pointed out in an earlier post, don't get your hopes set too high about getting into a truck tomorrow. These assignments are made out of the training dept at Van Buren. Remember Vandalia is not the only terminal with students, and I am sure there are students from last week that's still waiting. The training dept has to match up smokers etc etc, and most likely there will not be enough trainers tomorrow to get everybody in a truck. You will know 100% sure tomorrow if so. There is a fair chance you will either be sent back to the hotel or sent home. I was told once there was only about 200 - 250 trainers in total. If you don't mind me asking, how many in your class will finish tomorrow and what was the attrition rate?

I can say that everybody from the Mon-Wed orientation this week are already gone. The ones from last week were gone by when we got here Wed. So hopefully we will not have to wait that long. I hope we keep the tradition going this week of everyone getting out within a couple of days. Fingers crossed of course. If not, then atleast after we get ID's tomorrow we will finally be on the payroll.

Well got our ID badges and our training packet. One student got picked up right as we were walking out the door from class. The rest of us got sent back to the hotel. We have our trainers name and truck number and now are waiting for our training supervisor to call us today and let us know when they will be by the terminal to pick us up.

Well I was told yesterday that my trainer was enroute from Little Rock, AR to Penn, that he should pick me up on the way. That he had my phone number and would call me and let me know. She didnt give me an ETA. Hopefully sometime today he will call me and let me know the 411. Not trying to rush him, just would like to know whether it will be today, tomorrow, etc. Just would like to know when, not a problem of when, just want to know. Even if he says it will be monday or something that's cool. Just would like a heads up.

Trainer called about 10 am this morning and told me that he would be by to pick me up somewhere around late morning tomorrow.

Nice, wish you the best on your training! BTW, I assume you have a laptop as you're still on here at the hotel. But, do you have a 3g device for internet on the road? Some may say I'm addicted to the internet... I can live without it but prefer life with it lol.
