    Hey guy, we started with 3, in the evening class. One guy quit yesterday. The school only started monday. I havent even taking the test yet for the permit. ALOT of info. Makes me nervous. I dont want to fail at this. Everybody I talk to says the test is too easy. I say its ALOT of info. I live in Hendersonville. So I travel to and from the school. So far, the long days are tough. But this is something I have to do to get my CDL.
    After working all day, running home to shower, then driving 45 minutes to school, class starts at 5:00. School out at 9:00, drive 45 minutes home, eat dinner, whooo!! We have NO class on Fridays!! However, Sat and Sun are 4 hours each on the range. 0700-1100.
    Its all good. I'm just nervous. I guess being nervous is a good thing, means I want it??

    The test is easy. Just read the book from DMV is all. I took all the exams for the CDL but the Hazmat and passed them on the first try. You really will do fine if you just read the book and think about the questions, I am sure you can even do the Hazmat too. I was worried about passing them at first too, so I held off on Hazmat. Went back 2 weeks later for Hazmat and missed only 2 questions.

    I got to say that I am very happy with USXpress. Only been a team for a couple weeks now, first week was slow going but the 2nd week went great and this week is going great as well. I got to give props to my wife, she has fit right in with driving 600+ miles per shift. We have proven to our FM that we are a good team, she can depend on. I also am happy to hear that USXPress has decided to make some changes and I believe they will be for the better.

    Sheepdog that is such great news. Scary when you don't know if you she would like it. Luckily Craig and I started together and love it more than when we first started! Can't wait to meet up with you guys one of these days!
