I don't know if anyone besides G-Town is reading this but... if any new academy students are reading this, please take heed:
Do Your Homework, starting from studying for your CLP and then just keep on doing your homework.
I just finished Orientation and I *still* have homework! Please do yourselves a favour and Be Proactive About Doing Your Homework!
There's SO much to learn and it doesn't stop when you get your CDL: HOS, Trip Planning, QualComm macros, different tractor familiarizations... on and on.
Months later but your diary has been helpful, as I'm considering the same company. I was just sent info for Waco, Ga.
Since obtaining my permit, I have revisited Air Brakes/Testing and Pre-Trip just so I dont forget. Plus, finding this site has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! I've gotten a head start and trying to take it all in as it can get overwhelming lol but I'm ready for the challenge. I'm ready to tame the beast lol.
