    Like I figured. There are no tests, just videos and Elog training. Now just waiting for my trainer. Graduated MTC truck driver training with a 99.25% the highest GPA all year so far 2017. Aced my pretrip, no points in the yard and only two points on the road. Now for some experience, we all gotta start somewhere. Gotta pretty good start so far.

    Psycho, out.

    Good to hear. Go out learn all you can and more importantly do everything you can to gain all the experience you can, and if you get a trainer that you feel isn't teaching you the right way and safe way to do things get another!! Keep us updated.
     
    TattooTroy Thanks this.

    Thanks I appreciate that. We really look forward to this next chapter in our lives. My wife finishes her orientation today and we look forward to teaming up shortly, working together and making some money.

    Good luck to you both. I hope you get your experience and find a good team company afterwards.
    You did great in school but it is the bare basics. It means very little out here. Stay safe out there driver, and again good luck.
     
    TattooTroy Thanks this.

    Thanks I know it for sure. After just 1800 miles I feel like I have learned so much more already. I understand that school is to teach you how to pass a test, that is all. I have a cool trainer and we are getting along great, both bikers from Florida. Having a blast. Working hard and the little lady starts with her trainer in the morning. I appreciate the encouraging words. We plan to work hard and make a name for ourselves. So if you ever hear someone talking about the couple with their heads tattooed, that would be us. Many more miles to go, and looking forward to it.
