Hope today was another assuaging day for you, m'lady !!
Was hoping for an update, but that's irrelevant, as long as it's going well for you, for sure! Be a 'sponge' .. and NOT like 'Bob,' LoL~!! 
Soak it up, and sleep well.
Thinking of you!

Day 2 10/14/20 @9:22PM
Woke up around 6:50am this morning,I'm guessing that 7hr+ drive finally caught up to me this morning as my entire body and head was aching. Along with catching a cold from being in the indiana cold haha. But I'm loving it. Today went alittle longer than yesterday. Sat down in class,watched some more videos,met alot more staff members,got payroll (the best part) out the way, along with 401k,taxes, and medical insurance out the way today. The class had Subway today (which was delicious). Also took a quick tour around the facility, It's huge and beautiful. It's like Christmas over there all you see is big red happy trucks with white trailers. Out of the 7 students. 2 got their trucks and was sent off,2 still waiting on drug test results to get sent back in so they can get sent off as well,the who was gonna get sent off,got called in the office. Unfortunately since he hasn't used his CDLs in 2 years,he would have to take a refresher course and than come back. I felt so upset for him because he gotten so far and he was extremely extremely nice. He decided to go to a school closer to his family rather than spending his weeks here,which is totally understandable. Me and another student has some backing practice on tomorrow. Really excited!! Oh did I mention I got my company badge today. IM EXCITED 😁😁😁😁

That is awrsome news. Congrats!!!
Drug tests usually take 3 days, except in my case when I first started it took 5. Lab just said they were behind. The staff was looking at me kinda strange though. I assured them I studied hard before hand so it would be ok, lol.
Thanks PJ!! And totally gotcha.
Well today I just got word that since I'm going to be working out of Arkansas.I will need to transfer my CDL for TN to Arkansas. They told me that I have 30 days to do it. How do I go by doing this. Probably should have asked. Dang it.
