Prime Orientation, What to expect?

For sure! I meant the classes to GET your CDL. I fully expect some classwork while I'm there, but I can finally say the adventure is starting, rather than just going to school. I'm looking forward to seeing the Century Building, and I'll be interested to see who I end up with as a trainer.

 

There really is no classes to get your CDL... Its all hands on in the truck, or beside the truck. Its the MILLENIUM building. Hopefully you can get through Springfield so yu can see it, its awesome.

 

...and even though it's SLC - don't be late to anything!!!

 

That too... Wonder if they use "late freight" up there too lol

 

Yep. I went through the whole finger print thing at an office. Not the old inking now. They scan your fingers! And it will take time, but now, I have my "clearance" so no one needs to worry about me being a terrorist threat.

 

Check plane tickets with allegiant air. They fly into Springfield . My ticket was only 150 and they reimburse most of that. Bus trips suck! I flew from Tampa in 1 1/2 hours and the bus trip would've been 40 hours.

 

Best of luck to you Moonscarred. It was a pleasure to go through school with you. Be safe!

 

I wish I had took a plane. I'm on the bus now and it's super uncomfortable. No room in between. The seats and I'm a short guy! My bus ticket was $196

 

Good info.
Q: Where are you coming from? I am looking at a 23hr Gray Dawg bus ride. Plane ticket is $277... may just try and bite the bullet.
No point in showing up with bus lag!

 

Ga! 27 hours on the "grey dawg" at my first layover an 1.5 into the trip. The layover is 2 hours.
