    Not much more to say. Paper work, movies, drug test, road test. Will probably have pizza for lunch and meet one or more driver managers.

    When completed you will meet your trainer or be sent home until your trainer is assigned or available. Then 4 weeks with your trainer. You drive he rides shotgun.
     
    tadollahite Thanks this.

    Thanks i have done my drug test back on the 11th of this mounth and i just got off the phone with my trainer. He said he will pick me up in modesto Ca. on the 19th or the 20th and then we are heading for Idaho that's were he live's for his home time. I have to spend 3 day's in the truck at a drop yard that sound's like fun lol. But he said that we will get a lot of the book work out of the way and he will have over to his house's for football and some beer's that will work for me. Thank's Tim
