Training at CFI/Conway

I will be going to CFI/Conway In Joplin,MO for training on Monday 2/11. I will try to give a day by day from there. I am always curious about what goes on with the training deals when I read these posts. Hopefully I could shed some light for other newbies. I have my cdl already so the deal is I get there Sunday night they put me up in a holiday inn in Joplin. Monday bus comes 6am to go to orientation then to another hotel for 7-8 days.For these 7-8 days will be 2 days orientation 6 days yard/road coarse training.Then off with a trainer for 7500 miles all me the trainer does not drive just instructs till the last week we drive as a team. Then back to joplin to get my own truck . Im 90% on all that. But I will keep you posted tune in.

 

Thanks Big d , Good luck ,to you on the test.
That sucks that you would have to go do more training like that just because of the pups. I let you know as my drama unfolds.
