trucking?
If you can have a way to leave the car there will out and the road it would be something to look into. I live in hickory and if i had an extra car i think i would just drive back and forth for my home time. Reson being will they always seam to get me home on the day that i want the miles that i get the week i go home are always down. And having the trk at the shop to sit can get need mantince done. Just something to think about.

If a trainer is not avalible they pay for the hotel. For me i went out with a trainer right away.

No Problem any more ? that you think of you can just ask. As a side note I also went to the Atlanta term for orintation. No complaints, only thing is the hotel is not around much of anything. Dennys, Waffle House and i think a Subway at one of the gas stations. I do not know if this has been said or if they still do it but they made everone in our orintation take a quick road test, real easy and short 2 to 3 miles. The guy that use to do them just retired, so not sure what happens now. Like i said nothing to be concened about one hint, go first. Easy rt turn out of yard then left onto main road then get on freeway then driver switch.

Well Thanks everyone for all the info I'm leaving in the morning. Hope everything goes well, will post when training is done. Not taking laptop with me I want to be free to pick my trainers brain, and learn everything I can. Again thanks will let ya'll know how it went. Hoping that will be in about 7 weeks.

Sounds like you are bring the right stuff. Depends on how your trainer does it but a sleeping bag might be easyer than sheets. Because you can only use the buttom bunk when someone else drives, so you switch sleeping spots some times. I think the hotel has a washer and dryer so you could wash some clothes right before you leave out.

the math test is if one truck leaves phx at 8 am and the other truck leaves Dallas at 10 am central time both going a constant 55 mph were and when will they meet.

JUST KIDDING

In orantation do not remember a math test. On the upgrade test there is some but just some adding, subtracting, mutiply and divide. In your training material you got some sample questions to go over. You trainer should help you. And the test is a open notes test, nothing to be concered about.

I am glade there was not a spelling test that would have done me in.

I guess that could be a possibility. My car is a manual so my wife can't drive it, she has her own car anyway. I would be worried about how secure it would be of course. I just have no desire to ride the bus so if I'm going straight out with a trainer I might just have my wife take me down. Anybody have any info about the wait time on a truck after training?

The lot is right next to the terminal. KLLM is at the end of a dead end street only one other company at the very end. All the machnics and the other drivers that live to close to terminal park there. Would more or less depend on how often you are looking to go home. Getting a truck after training from what i understand is all timing, being right place at the right time and the number of people waiting already.
