    Fairly sure everyone got a trainer other than myself. I'm assuming if they're bringing 4 of you over today it means there are a few trainers available. I get first pick :D
    Its more of a situation of, this could have been avoided but instead #### me, I can sit and wait instead because over sights are fun in the trucking industry.
    Oh well, at least they're paying me...

    the dps test took the ffe test friday which is quite a bit harder and scored a 94 on my first try --- the dps course isnt too hard and they gave me 2 practice runs on thursday through it and did just fine ---so i should be ok if i dont roll a curve ---

    ya im not good at test , im more hands on test type, take me out too the truck, i'll name every part of that truck -trailer, and pass ,but put 123 questions in front of me ,on paper , i fail every time why i don't know why, i guess, but i'm study for my hazmat test on my own, now this question is how do i put this, it's say too remove the tire if the affected tire is hot, and remove too a safe haven,and give you three choices , first after studying the little green book , it's say we are not too work on our truck, unless we are certified too do so, second i don't have a 50 ton jack or any tool's too take off a truck tire in the first place, so every time i see that question , i see how dum these these people are who write these up , but i did pass the hazmat on top of this page all 9 of em , i miss one , oop's.
