When I was there for my short time tuesday, There was 2 females in our class of 16. I think one of them was there to be a trainer, and another was there to get her CDL. but on the first day there just be warned that they shove a lot of paperwork down your throat the first day. But dont worry its only paper work, another thing, beware of the orion clinic chick that comes in and talks to you about physicals. she comes off to be a ##### but is accually pretty cool, but she is not afraid to go off on you -
prime will only take women who know someone who is allready a cdl driver or trainer or married dating them ... due to sexual hassasment issues...one girl single in that hotel guys would be knocking on her door 29 hours a day...hell they chase the ones who are married everywhere...hell u will see the line of guys at the front desk where the hotel women work at.. yeah i had to wait 2 weeks to get a cdl instructor.. and i got lucky...u have to remember everyone before u is a priority so u wont leave intul they leave...so if there are students from 3 weeks ago count on u waiting at least that long...

the rn lady is pretty cool she is very blunt and direct with a demanding tone.. cause she has to deal with alot of stupid people.. ull see for urself... but her personality makes the physical waiting interesting...

She's actually a partier and can be found out and about in Springfield area. My son 2 years ago had a pretty good time with her once.

skim back a few pages in this thread. U2 keeps his numbers updated in here.

Do get a CPA to do your taxes. The outfit that has the office in the Millenium Bldg does an adequate job. Make sure they are familiar with the trucking industry, because this animal is different than taxes on regular jobs! -

As for my miles, I told you my theory....
"The west is the best.... get here and we'll do the rest..." -Jim Morrison
Historically in the last year the single major mile loads I have had have been the ones coming out of my house or going home...
Thats not to say I want to run western regional, they have short loads too... Winter weather concerns... and a rougher time balancing the MPG issue given the terrain. A bad MPG going west one week is usually balanced with a return trip east.
My last 3 weeks can be explained with me going to and from my house in Tacoma. The first week of this mile "Bonanza"(4 weeks ago), is where I happend to have 3 meat loads... 2 coming out of western Kansas "bookending" a rejected meat load I repowered going back to Kansas.
Going home is either a meat load from Kansas or Nebraska. Or a combo of 2 loads... something from (OH, IL, IN, MO) going to Salt Lake, followed by a load out of the Salt Lake area going into western WA or Portland, OR.
Coming out has always been one of 3 things... Frozen fish out of Anacortes (an hour or so south of the Canadian border), Apples or Hashbrowns out of central Washington.... Typically on a routing through ID, MT, ND to either MN, WI, IL... I got lucky this time with apples going to FL.
On a the previous trip home, coming out I dropped the fish in Salt Lake as a relay and then a Hershey load from Ogden into CA.... sat for 2 days and got Frozen Strawberry Topping from Oxnard to Atlanta, GA.
Im thinking I should go home more often then the 6-10 weeks I like to run.
