And oops...props to Daniel! also.

...please notice how many times anchorman said "announce." That was not by mistake, and giving specifics is crucial. You got this!

Every single word Old School typed should be mandatory reading. Just perfect.

Congrats on Prime and don't forget your warm clothes during training. ...and I am not sure rider policies, but your lil buddy there in your pic needs his own berth. Welcome to TT, kind sir.

Travis:

A BIG hello back, and a huge congrats on your CDL and trucking company choice. Seems like you are well on your way. I look forward to your updates once you get to OH. ...and yes, Brett has set the bar high for others trying to bring relevant info for current and future drivers.

I bought a nice pair of Timberland boots which I really didn't want to afford, but those things turned out to be amazing. Spending a few bucks up front for me anyway, the right thing to do.

Jason:

Don't give up on your first choice, although a back-up plan is definitely in order It's a simple thing to show you were a student. Like many have said here, the company just wants to know you were doing SOMETHING other than just sitting around.

Either way, you will make it. Keep pushin'

I asked my trainer this exact question... his response? "After you have driven all four seasons."

Lol @ the tricks to keep it running. Mine you have to depress the clutch to the clutch brake slowly, release and then press resume on the cruise control repeatedly till you hear the engine rev. Then...good to go!

RT said it perfectly! In my personal case with training class, I could spot those few, almost as second nature, and avoided them at all costs. talk, talk talk. I showed up early, the first to hit the door, the first to sign in and when everyone else was yapping away, I chose to study the PTI posters on the wall. Followed up with an email to the lead instructor which, when I arrived again here yesterday , he said made his day. Not kiss-butting, but letting him know I take this so seriously. Let the others look back with regrets....not me!
