This is the the class of 11 down from 32 that startted.
We looked and looked for a place out there for newbie to see what it was like from the beginning. Starting with school (that is done), then with trainer, then finally on their own. We never found one so we created this blog. To entertain, enlighten, and explain our very real journey from 9-5 job to 28 days in a truck every month.

An update
Sky-2 and a half days with nothing to do...........
Well we passed the permit test, we passed the cdl test, and yesterday we passed the pre-employment road test for CRST. now we have the rest of yesterday all day today and tomorrow. And with a little bit of a cash, we can not like some of the other people we are training with rent a car and drive around town.
as for the CRST pre-employment road test if you passed the DOT CDL test. this will make you laugh. it is turn right, turn right, and pull over and you pass. the guy that gave us our test was ummm a truck driver that said he had 13 years experience I would thing it might be just driving alone on a old dust road. watched him drive and he never looked out the mirrors!!
so now we just sit here till monday morning at 7am then all day orintaion.........
will write more then.
