Well, it was an early day, filled out a bunch of paperwork, classroom instruction was going through pretrip inspection, air brakes, combination vehicles and a tour around the place. We start bob tailing around the course parking lot on Thursday, guess that's when the fun begins. Tomorrow is drug test and DOT physical, we all need to be at school at 0600. I have homework to do, they are very serious about getting your stuff done. Trainers seem to be nice, hope it stays that way.

I'm not really good with words but I will try to explain my trip to Mesquite, Tx. My ride came to pick me up at 1100. We went to the bus stop and right off the bat a lady comes to us saying she needs to get to Midland, Tx and lifts up here pant leg and has a huge pitting 3rd degree burn on her leg. I look at her like lady why aren't you getting this treated. I was a nurse in the army and worked at the burn ward here in San Antonio. She told me she signed herself out of the hospital and needed to go home. Well, what a start. I board the bus and the person sitting in back of me was talking to someone saying that he is going to Stevens for school. We start talking. The lady in front of me has 2 kids and for 4 hours of the trip one of them is crying. I have a huge headache. I finally get to the hotel and I have a roommate. It's ok. Our day starts at 0500 to get to school by 0700. hopefully it will be better than today.

Waiting on my ride to the bus stop. I hate waiting, seems to go by slow. It's a 5 hour drive up to Dallas.

Got my duffle bag packed and ready to go tomorrow. Today was a day of good-byes and see ya'll later. It's going to be a long night, I leave tomorrow for Mesquite, Tx. School starts on Monday, way too early for this night owl. I'm nervous, miss my doggie all ready and just hope for the best. I'll post Monday about the first day, if I get a chance.

Worked for me,

I would try Schlumberger in Von Ormy, tx. They are looking for drivers and they train from what I hear. There are plenty of work down here but I committed elsewhere, Good luck!

I'm hoping I get a load going up to Wa state, I'd get a crate of cherries from Yakima and finally have some tasty apples. Never buy fruit anymore since I left that area, doesn't taste the same

I am

Does that mean there are 3 short Russians on this site?

Dave, I would imagine it would be home of record, so just one unless state taxes are taken out
