    Well after being home for a week and not hearing anything I called today about getting set up with a trainer. I got a call back and they told me they want to get me back up to Gary to get with a trainer so they got me a rental car and I will be leaving first thing in the morning from good old Richmond, Va. I will stop over in Cincinnati, OH. for the night tomorrow and be in Gary on Wednesday. I hope to be hooking up with my trainer on Thursday but not sure how long I will be waiting once I get up there.

    Hey Phantom, I'm heading to your hometown (Richmond) today for my Physical. Was told I'd be going to Ellenwood for Phase One (national van fleet).

    As short as they are on trainers I'm surprised I have to wait 30 days and go through Trainer Foundations again to get back into a trainer truck. Ah well, 17 days to go.
     
    Nottoway Thanks this.

    They used a place called Concerta in Chesterfield for mine, is that the one they sent you to? Good luck with everything, and compared to my last career I'm enjoying this one with the exception of being away from home.

    I don't know who my trainer is yet, guess I will find out today or tomorrow. I'm leaving Cincinnati this morning and should be at the hotel in Hammond this afternoon. I don't know if I could do the trainer thing down the road....#### all we noobs do is grind your gears and take up space in your cabs lol!

    Not to come across as greedy or money-minded, but when do they get to W2's and tax paperwork, during Orientation? They can't pay you anything until that's done, right? My husband fiiiiiiiinally stared Phase 1 on Monday after 3 weeks of hiccups that simply couldn't be avoided....and two years of unemployment- after a long stint in the military. Not having a paycheck for two years, and 3 teenagers still at home to feed, I'm kind of excited to get some relief. I have a Sweet 16 coming in a few weeks and those unavoidable, annual MAJOR expenses known as holidays coming up, too. Also, I'm told paydays are on Wednesday- has anyone ever had a different experience? Thanks! :-D

    Yep, that's the place. Now I have two Med cards...already had one I had gotten on my own before going to CDL school in Hampton in August. Just waiting to hear back from my recruiter now. Keep us posted on your time with your trainer.

    It's not greed when your in need! He probably won't do the paperwork until his last day though....but I came through the RDTC training program so I'm not certain about phased drivers.

    When you say his last day, do you mean his last day of Phase 1?
