Still Alive..,.

Yup. Despite the many rumors to my demise, I'm still alive. Got through orientation, got my new glasses (pic coming soon), and now just waiting on my Lead Driver (for over-the-road training). I need to get out there and start earning, as I have a tonne of bills and loans to payback. Plus I need some level of "normal" in my life. So here's the game plan:

 

  • Bus Ride to Waterloo, IA for Refresher Course
  • 5-day refresher course at Hawkeye Community College
  • Shuttle ride to CRST Headquarters in Cedar Rapids, IA
  • 3-day orientation
  • get new glasses
  • get Comdata card
  • Get Lead Driver
  • 21-28 days of OTR (over the road) training
  • Get co-driver (mandatory for 10 months)
  • 1-2 weeks of driving before I get home time (time off)

 

So I'll update this topic from time to time...but yeah, still got about 6 weeks (at least) before I can focus on setting up my new trailer and such...

I would edit the OP, but for some reason I can't. But you can check all of that off now that I'm on my second hometime.
