They will say you did. Could be you blinked one to many times. Maybe you looked up and to the left when answering a question. Point is, they can do whatever they want. The traveler has no rights.

You're driving a truck and going to school full time simultaneously?

I am indeed.

How is that even possible?

Online isn't set by time. Assignments are do by a certain date but I can work on them anytime. All online classrooms have a forum, very similar to this one which you can, and are required, to interact with your classmates. I was done with this week by Tuesday but it was the first week of the new semester so it was pretty easy. By finals I'll be a ghost on here, lol.
If you have an Internet connection online college isn't too bad but it is time consuming. -
Time consuming......ah yeah. When do you sleep? I hate over achievers they make me look bad.
taxihacker66 Thanks this. -
I don't lose much sleep. Generally speaking if I hit it hard I can get all the assignments done in 4 to 5 hours per class. Spread over a few days and it's not so bad. I only need about 6 hours sleep.
So the breakdown would be: Stop, Work for 2 or 3 hours, sleep for 6, wake up shower Pre-Trip and hit the road. Of course I can always find and extra hour or so sitting under the rack or unloading. I'm usually done by Thursday and I still have 3 days if I needed them.
Also depends on the type of class, essay heavy classes will take a lot more work. You have to research, cite and then write. Basically double the time. The key is to only register for one essay heavy class at a time. -
I might start a thread on this forum about it. That forum doesn't get much traffic. I want drivers to know it's definitely possible to get a degree while driving.

Impressive.
I thought about doing the same, but then I laid down until the feeling passed.
rank and taxihacker66 Thank this.
