    That is great! Time to celebrate with a "kiki's burrito" from La Chaquita! Order one for me and mail it to me would ya!

    So now you are waiting for a trainer. Did they give you a time frame?

    I'm with a trainer now... We are now in Henderson Nv. and waiting to pick up a load delivering to PA on the 11th.

    Everything is going pretty good, Mike, so far is not a bad trainer....

    Now what would be cool - you get done with Mike just as I need a trainer :) then I could hear stories about YOU!! :biggrin_2559: Ah - wait - maybe not the best idea - then he would have heard stories about me...:biggrin_25523:

    You have to realize to why they hire so many drivers. Most of them quit before the first month is up. Out of a class of 30, one driver will make it past the one year mark. Hang in there Klingon, they can send you to SLC or Conley or Henderson if need be to get you a truck. Maybe tell them you would be willing to travel to go and get a truck. I think the biggest problem in general though is freight is slow and trucks just aren't moving.

    Hey Celticwolf,

    What's your ETA into Conley? I'm suppose to meet with my trainer early next week.
