    There are 9 of us. Day 4 over with. More book work. Tomorrow brings good things. Will be working on backing and hooking up to trailers. I worked in a railroad yard driving a spotter truck for about 4 years so I hoping tomorrow is an easy day for me. Shouldn't have any problems. I've probably drove around and parked close to 100,000 trailers in my day. However I have learned in my 35 years on this planet to not take anything for granted. So I'm gonna act like its my first time. Either way can't wait.

    Oh and I almost forgot. I've gotten a chance to talk to a few drivers over the last 4 days and each and every one of them has been very nice and generous with answering questions and giving advice. Not really sure on names but thanks everyone. Your experience and wisdom that you have passed on is appreciated. I really do believe Millis is one of the best companies out there. I'm extremely excited to get the school portion over with and getting out there.
