    Next time I'll start excessively flashing my headlights. That'll be the sign. I'm unloading around 0900 and then picking up and heading back north to the Portland for the weekend. I'll keep a lookout and wave at the System
    Pete's with Connies.
     
    Airborne and Rugerfan Thank this.

    I've known Brenna for years and she's a friend of mine and my wife's (My wife was working in Safety while I was there). She was my recruiter years ago. Tell her Joel said hello.

    Ok a bit late but day 3 was good. First half of the day was a Smith System road test. We went driving in Spokane. We used a company van and the instructor( + your orientation group in the van) critiqued your driving based on the Smith System. It really wasn't all bad. After that we returned for lunch and swapped groups. After lunch was MORE SmithSSystem safety training videos and a few tests. That pretty much wraps it up. Today I believe we are going to be doing a bit of secure mentioned to get everyone acclimated with System's ways of load securement. I also found out they will be flying me back to Gary, IN to get a truck.

    Ah, Guess they were too busy. The special thing was they will sometimes take you out to the red lion bar and grill downtown for lunch during the smith system driving portion.

    Oh. I think there are too many people in the orientation group for that. There are 21 people in my group. Joe said this is the largest group they have ever had.
