werner called me today to confirm my orientation in Lakeland on the 20th. I asked about teaming with my friend who is a few weeks behind me in school and they said they would get us together asfter training.
Well, I just got done with day one. I did not complete all my CBT courses and still have homework to do. Homework is on the handbook which I need to do. Looks like there is about 11 trainees. My roomate was just completing his training and thinks he is going to be sent home when he gets his 300 hours. Got to go. Tired.
Got a trainer Friday morning and been on the road since. Very busy. Just been to Kentucky, Indiana, Illionios and Iowa. Trainer has more than 40 years of experince. Did Pre-Trip Friday morning. I am still learning the Qualqum. I am still have a great deal to learn. Basically, go get a load and deliver it. Sleep when the hours are up and repeat process. Right now it is like a solo run. In 3 or 4 weeks it will be like teams. Happy happy joy joy. Take care,
Good for you!!! Glad it's all working out for you and hope it continues to be. What's your trainers name? I used to know a lot of those guys. Just pay attention and learn and you'll do well. Thanks for letting us know whats going on and stay in touch.
Won't be long and we'll all be saying this exact same thing(I can't wait)......Keep us updated as you can.
