One piece of advice, in case you haven't heard:
STAY OFF THE GRASS!. It's a test of whether you can read signs and comply.
I want to see a picture of this grass everyone refers to.

I didn’t see the grass in Des Moines during my brief stint with TMC, but the facilities I did see were amazing. Just like their trucks
Congrats on attaining your CDL! Best on your next chapter with TMC!
