smile.gif Well the day has come,and as of monday the 22nd,i start my orientation with may trucking. Am excited,but there just that little tinge of nervousness. I know i will be ok. They told me to pack enough cloths for 7-10 days,and to be prepared to be on the road for 30 days.This will be a new chapter in my life. Now i get to find out what all you long time mentors are talking about. I am really geared up for this literally! Hope my trainer is cool. Will find out. Now my second thought for the day was,do truck drivers park and sleep in their trucks,or do they rent hotel or motel for the night? Just curious. Not that big of a issue for me. Anyway's,will keep all informed on this next chapter in my life for my new career. Will talk soon,Gary

C'mon! Tell the truth. Your company puts you up in the Hyatt, right? $100/day expense allowance for meals and masseuse at each 34 hour reset. :)
