    No, Jakaby. Looks like I will be heading to training first of March. I am still working at my present job still, and waiting on my tax return before I leave. I have already given my notice at work, but will be leaving upon receiving my tax refund check so that I can get things squared away.
     
    Jakaby Thanks this.

    Yep, class starts for me Monday. I've got all of my stuff ready to go. I'm excited and a bit nervous all at the same time. It's going to be a big departure from the office type of jobs I've previously worked, but I've been wanting to make the switch to driving for a while, and I've done a bunch of research, so I feel like I'm as best prepared as I can be. It looks like my class will probably be ending right before you start yours, but I'll probably still be around for orientation when you're starting the academy, so maybe I'll see you out there.

    Hey shamrock, during road training they will introduce you to some hard turns, but test day the turns are very manageable so don't get scared. We had a guy fail on a turn into the yard because he hit a curb! Felt bad for him.

    Hey Y'all I am in trucking school and have swift comin in tomorrow for a "Sales Pitch" While I know that they will feed me a good line I am just wondering what you guys have to say on what to believe and what not to believe and maybe even a few questions to ask along the way. I thank you all in advance.- Greg
