    just breathe or call it a career today
    this is small stuff
    you go into the office all beside yourself that will not make a good impression. In orientation in the motel out on the backing range
    everything one does is evaluated to see if you act like a grown up and have a demeanor matching a driver

    when you get assigned a load and you get to the receiver are you going to be "beside yourself"

    JUSTNVA, is it possible that you simply misunderstood? That you didn't realize that you would have the weekend off, (and still get paid)? The timeline the recruiter gave you is pretty much correct other than those two days. As for the hotel reservations, it is better to reserve the room for a couple of extra days in case your coach gets hung up somewhere ....you may or may not need those extra days. This is trucking, stuff happens, as Evomalo said your coach could run late ....the load isn't ready, construction slows you down, trucks have mechanical issues, etc.etc.....it is better to plan ahead and have a room for your student just in case. You will still be paid for those days should that happen.
    Don't get yourself worked up over nothing or you will never make it OTR. It is frustrating that wires were crossed somewhere, but it is not a major issue unless you make it one.

    Ok ...I try to be a nice person and I don't usually laugh at other people's mistakes.....but I have to admit that I laughed at this one.....only because I once picked up a can of Spray Starch thinking it was hairspray.

    This picture proves once and for all how important it is to read the label on the can.

    It shows a mystery woman who reportedly ended up in A&E after confusing her hair mousse with a can of expanding builder's foam.

    The image, believed to have been taken at a hospital somewhere in Eastern Europe, has been widely shared on social media on Tuesday.

    So true about reading cans. My wife's aunt was going to the ob/gyn and thought she sprayed fds down in the area when she got there realized it was glitter hair spray.

    Sitting in a service plaza on the NJ turnpike. 3am departure to get off my last two stops. Got autoparts going to Southington CT and Billerica MA. Then a backhaul back toward the hurricane. Maybe I'd better stay out this weekend. Not coming home Jungho! Just kidding. Just cause we got medical now, does not mean you can have a nervous breakdown.
