    And pay more attention to the class than to the Internet, BBM. This is a distraction. THAT is the first step in the rest of your life.

    i know one things for sure, Im taking a NAP ASAP..lol..traveling by Bus sucks..I did meet some interesting people thats for sure, I cant wait to get out to the hotel and start meeting some of my classmates..talked to my wife this morning and everything is OK at home, seems leaving was the hardest part. I know this Job will be a complete shock to our normal routine, but its a change for the better, gets me out more and gets me making more money, and gives my wife a chance to learn how to be self reliant, so its good for all of us..My poor 10 year old son was so upset before I left, he had been watching the IRT:Deadliest roads on TV and thought that was what I was going off to do, poor kid was in tears telling me he didnt want me to go "cause youll fall off the mountains and DIE!!!"..lol

    You will need to always have the card in your possession, next to your CDL the most important card you carry. Swift will file the papers and give you a copy as well to be kept and available if needed.

    Okay looked at papers the doctor recorded my bp atv148/78 but she still issue a 2yr card is the. Bp thing only if you r on meds. I have no history of high bp. (Could it be cuz I smoked a cigarette beforehand) should I go back and get her to do bp again or is it not a big deal since no hbp history.just saying I don't want any misunderstandings at school.
