    Cross today off the list. Got everything done today by 3 o'clock...began to run out of things to do so a few of us (all TR members) went and took a look at the Millennium building for the first time. Very nice. Company stuff and more pre-trip tomorrow. And Ditch Doctor summed it up pretty well, really an interesting group of people with this class.

    Day 3 done. A bunch of classes this morning, and some pre-trip stuff in the afternoon. Managed to snag a trainer while we were out there. He seems like a really good guy who enjoys teaching. Off to dinner in a few, then some laundry this evening.

    Last day is done! Finally got to drive a truck instead of the simulator. Up shifting was fine, downshifting was another story. I'm taking to long and not increasing the RPM's enough. Still did better than I expected. Now just waiting for my trainers truck to get out of the shop and we'll be hitting the road!

    Hey hittin the road, check your pm's

    ughh...what a day. Apparently when I got my permit they put a medical restriction on it, so I wasn't allowed to leave the state of Missouri in a CMV. Had to go get that fixed, which put me at the end of the line for getting out and doing anything. I didn't get any time on the pad today, but my trainer comes in tomorrow and we'll start working on Sunday, so things are looking up already. Further updates to come!

    Well, another night in Springfield. Hopefully my trainers truck will be done tomorrow and we can get a load out of here. He didn't sound to optimistic, so it may be Monday when we finally get out of here.
