So this morning started bad, but then the sun came out. My blood pressure was 140/100 this time. But good think I was told come back in the afternoon and you can lay down, relax and we see then. So because there was to many people waiting for the Prime Shuttle to the dmv, I followed some other students example. We walked to Walmart and got on the City Bus. At the dmv short wait, short time in and thanks to the high road training I passt my learners permit with tanker endorsement. So I’m happy and think to myself I want wait for the next shuttle, that was 20 min out, and already Prime Students building up. So first time using Uber, called a uber and 2 minutes later I was in a warm car. The Dude was super nice we talked about the snow and cold wheater, and he asked allot about Prime. So I came back to the campus Inn had enough time to update the team, about passing the cdl learners permit. I then still had 10min left before the next blood pressure test, but thought about what they told us her. Everything u do handle as a load, so I went in the office and waited my turn. They where super nice, gave me some place to relax and then took the measurement. And I surprised them, because it really is the stress the numbers where in the normal range and not near the limit. So far so good thank you everyone my biggest fears and stress are out the way for now, rofl till I’m in a Truck and need to control the beast.

So long day. I did my Agility and passt it. Paperwork all done and good. Drug test no worrie there because I don’t do drugs. Only think I hope for a better result tomorrow is my blood pressure 150/90. That’s a new one for me when I got my physical at home it was fine. So I hope tomorrow gets it better. I been one water since Saturday when I left on the greyhound. I hope this is ok tomorrow. Don’t want to go because of that.

Good luck bud. Go to sleep early and show up to orientation early. You're in for a good time. Enjoy it.

Oh, and welcome to Prime!

Thank you. I’m not sure if it was you turtle that said 30min early for me is just on time. But yes that’s me too. It’s now 5:09 and I think i got a good nights sleep, gonna get ready and then I’m of to breakfast(lol water). I’m really exited about this day.

So I’m her at Prime Inc and I'm relaxing in my room after a 24 hour greyhound nightmare. So far I really like it here, everything seems organized and a good place for training. I want have time for a diary, but I update my thoughts her from time to time. I hope everything works out tomorrow with the dot physical and whatever else they gonna trough at us. I'm tired but I don’t want to fall asleep, because I know myself. Going to sleep now, means I’m up in 7 hours ready to roll. Wish me luck.

Wo im Deutschland haben Sie gewohnnen? Ich habe kurze Zeit im Saarland gewohnnt.

Tut mir leid, Mein Deutsch its sehr schlecht.

Bis Später

Viel Glück und eine gute Reise

I lived between music and Stuttgart and german is ok aslong as I can figure out what is meant

Good luck fellas. Remember anything you happen to forget can be purchased when you arrive or during training if it's a necessity.

Be safe, and keep us posted on your adventures!

Will keep posting her. The good, the bad and the ugly. I think I opened a door her for the german language, lol confused me for a second.

So tomorrow my journey begins with a 24hour Bus ride to Springfield, MO. I hope I didn’t forget anything wail packing what I think I will need. I’m not a little bit nervous, I’m more then nervous I’m terrified. I hope I come down tomorrow on the bus, and hope I didn’t forget anything and that I make it trough this. Everything is on the line, so to speak.

Thank you everyone. I actually printed Daniel's Version of the pre Trip and will study it on my way to Springfield. I think i just worry to much, but this is the first time in a long time that i really want a Job and know that its a Job i will/ can enjoy. I know im a good learner just my accent always gets in my way, but i guess if the Instructor has a Problem he will let me know.

So I’m heading to Prime this Saturday, the thing I’m most worried about is the pre Trip. So many things to remember the right name, not forgetting anything. Besides I lived in Germany 20+ years so often people don’t understand me 100% with my accent. How hard is it really to remember all the names and stuff? I downloaded the guide her and gonna study it on my 24hour journey.

Best wishes, Kyle and please keep us posted. I hope to be starting my journey sometime in February.

Best Regards, Colin K.

Good luck to you, keep us updated.
