Tomorrow I will be driving to Charlotte NC for Cdl training it’s only a 2:34 minute drive the company will provide us with a hotel, I think it’s only 4 students to a class, the director was telling me since I’m driving come Monday that I will need to drive to class for the purpose of doing the physical with students riding with me I told her I didn’t mind and Thursday the same thing for the Cdl permit, man I’m excited.

I’ll be going to Seafood Connection as soon as arrive in Charlotte, I’ve heard great things about that restaurant from my fiancée and her aunt who happens to live in Charlotte, I’m a seafood person.

You're getting started off right Ryan. Truckers love good food. I stopped in Branson, MO yesterday to do a 34 hour reset at my youngest daughter's house. I'm cooking smothered pork chops for her and my son-in-law tonight. I love to cook, and this gives me a chance to rest up, reset my clock, and unwind in the kitchen. Great times!

First, good luck in school. Do your best to keep up your positive energy through the highs and lows.

Second: I dont know if I read this wrong so forgive me if missed what you were saying. Are you saying you are responsible for driving your classmates around? The school doesn't have a shuttle for students to travel back and forth to the hotel?

When I was in talks with Pam, they told me I was responsible for getting from the hotel to the school and most students car pool there.

RealDiehl yes the director told me since I’m driving up there to drive to school Monday & Thursday she said do you mind taking some students with you to do the dot physical Monday & the permit test Thursday, because some of them will not be driving up here, I said I didn’t mind, I think it’s only like 4 students I drive a 2008 Chevy Cobalt 4 doors, I’m a big tall man at 6’1 300lbs but don’t look it lol, I’ll try to make room if need be 😃 and there is a shuttle that will take you from the hotel to school an back to the hotel.

You sound like a good guy, Ryan. Hopefully your classmates will chip in to buy you a meal to show their appreciation.
