Update @ 7:17pm on 7/7/20‼ Take my drug test on next week. My manager is supposed to call me to let me know what day & time. I'm beyond excited that the day is getting closer. I leave out on Sunday (either by greyhound or by one of their drivers). Keeping a countdown & enjoying hot baths while I can. just 11 days to go!!
Should also mention the class size is 5 students. Now anit that something😊.
Congrats!! A small class is always good. It will be fast paced. My cdl class had 4 in it. Enjoy the next 11 days and fasten your seat belt after that.

- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.

Congratulations!
The smaller class size may be due to Covid19 precautions.
Right. Wasn't even thinking that class would be that small (was thinking a class of 10). But yes it's great that the company is taking extra precautions. Last time I called them it was late November- early December maybe and the class size was 20 or so.

Really glad there wont be alot of students to one trainer. Hopefully all 5 of us pass and graduate😊. And will definitely take advantage of my 11 days for sure haha.

(small) Update @ 3:11PM on 7/13/20‼
Well my recruiter contacted me this morning about taking my drug test. He wanted me to call the clinic to make sure they are not overbooked. I called and the lady over the phone told me it was hardly anyone there but said all that can change. I arrive at the clinic an hour later and what do ya know. Its packed like a can of sardines. 
Decided to go home and just try and again in the morning. Called my recruiter about it since he wanted me to let him know. He told me to try again in the morning. Also waiting for orientation videos to be sent to me from him. As I really wanted to get my tests over with, tomorrow's another day.
On the bright side I have 5 more days before my leave out.
I would be at the clinic tomorrow morning early enough to be the first in line, once the place opens for business.

Came from Concentra in Memphis,TN. If you live in Memphis I highly recommend the location on South Mendenhall rd super quick and smooth. I had to take DOT physical to get another medical DOT certificate (even though I already had a medical DOT card). It went by smoothly. The drug testing was UA. Now I'm just waiting for the results to come in so I can get the ball rolling. I'm beyond EXCITED!! Still counting down the days.
Just 4 days to go!!

Thank you Jamie,Rob.T & PackRat for y'all extremely helpful responses!! I have no problem with the driver facing camera during driving times, was just afraid about privacy when my truck is parked and turned off. Y'all gave me a peace of mind and yes I should really stop listening to alot of negativity about the cameras.
That I don't know right now. Since I didn't see the info on it. But will definitely be a question I'll ask my recruiter on tomorrow. And definitely update.
And yes I completely forgot that cabs have curtains lmao. Goodness y'all please keep me in your prayers.
