Miracleofmagick, You bring up a good point. Thanks for the sound advice.

makes things easier for everyone

That's what you call it, "turtle drag race"!! I just busted out laughing in the middle of a restaurant, alone starring at my phone. I'm always unsure if I should slow down when I'm in the right lane when this happens. Hey folks, been a while since I posted. Hope all's well! Thanks for the laugh!

Not to mention the road rage it will cause when a 4 wheeler is stuck behind 2 trucks doing the turtle drag race for 8 miles on the interstate.

You guys are messed up!! In a good way. I wonder if that will happen to me when I actually start driving. Keep the good times rolling guys and thanks for a good laugh!

Flatbed National, out 11-14 days home 3. I'll probably stay out longer.

Hey JakeBreak, glad to hear your getting the miles and besides the territory, you seem to be doing ok. I missed you up in Marshfield that week I arrived. I have since graduated and now waiting for a trainer. See you around sometime.

Definately flatbed. I like the extra challenge of the diversity of cargo. I'm in there flatbed national division.

Hey folks, For those interested I wanted to give a quick update.

I'm going home today after completing the 4 weeks of training in Marshfield and successfully getting my CDL.

It's a big relief and can't wait to get home. I might do a write up about my training, not critiquing it just a explanation of what to expect.

I will say I enjoyed my training experience and made some long lasting friendships.

Nice job Donnie, best of luck. I'm in week 2 up in Marshfield, really busy also. I'll be reading.

Thanks for the headsup JakeBreak. Maybe see you Monday. Good luck on your next phase!

Donnie, I leave tomorrow (Sunday) for Marshfield. I'm fortunate to be able to drive my own vehicle the 500 mile trip. CDL training starts Monday morning, they pick us up at the hotel at 6:45. Sorry, I don't do military time yet.

I'm not sure about doing a training journal. It all depends on how intense I find the training to be. If I do one I'll send you the link. Keep cool.
