    Yeah I figured the Bama hat was probably the worst choice. :)

    I don't know. That's what I am finding odd, Mickey has not gotten back to me. I mean I talked to him this morning and he said he was gonna send me an email with some attachments, but nothing real definitive yet. I will be leaving probably from either Dayton or Lima. In order to arrive Sunday night I would have to leave Saturday morning or early afternoon if by bus.

    Just seems really strange I haven't had anything very solid just yet. Mickey said I would be starting the 15th, but not much since then and that email hasn't arrived yet either. Don't know what to think now lol.

    Have the rest of you had this email with the packets of info yet? I don't know if something has changed with my application status, if the start of school date has changed because so many signing up or if he is just overloaded with work (he mentioned over 2,000 applicants have been assigned to his desk). I honestly don't know what to think, so I decided not to think and just hope it all works out. :D

    Yeah see I haven't even gotten that far, nobody said anything about bus terminals or transfers or anything related to transportation to me yet. Yes Playmaker suggested that about the Texas book being online. I had planned on Drivers Solutions so I had studied and had taken the written practice tests for Indiana and Ohio both, scoring above 95% on both in all 4 sections of the test about 5x each. Reading through the Texas book looks almost the same. Would make me happy if I can score above 90% on the Texas questions. I would like to be prepared for the written tests and the pre-trip inspections before I even start so that neither of those stress me out and I can focus on the road test as much as possible.

    Yeah like you i was studing for the same thing only Wv and Pa, because I had orginally started going to Allstate driving school. After I had went up there and saw that it was going to $6500 for three weeks or go to school for 6 months I begin looking at company sponsered training. As far as my traveling infomation I took it upon my self to look that stuff up. Just to get an idea on how long I'll be on thoose ######## greyhounds.
     
    4wheelJoshua Thanks this.

    Well that has provided alot of relief! I was half wondering if maybe my recruiter was scared to tell me I didn't make a cut!
