    Which location are you headed too? I fininshed up in Appleton, WI about 3 months ago. The physical is nothing to worry about, very straight up and easy. The hire date is at the end of the week, you just have to show improvment all week and not be horrible the first day, to get a trainer. Their big thing is safety, if you know how to shift well and you dont take chances you will do fine.

    You know how to drive, you just need to show them you wont cause an accident. I'm not saying it is going to be easy, they will push you, but nothing you cant handle, a lot of classroom stuff. Sharing a truck sucks, you are in somebodys elses truck and on his time, but its over before you know it and you'll do your final exam.

    No you should be fine with all that, I brought the same stuff. I liked appleton, nice hotel and training facilaty. Hope it works out, if you get a guy named brian his bark is worse than his bite. Good luck.
