Arrived Sunday evening in Springfield and the Campus Inn was full of Prime drivers so they moved us to the Econo Lodge which is nice because we have our own room. Monday was orientation and Dot physical. Justin the director is solid with a great attitude. We only have 3 in our class so lots of attention. After lunch (which they bought) we went to the pad to check agilities. This was a breeze even for a fat guy like me. Then we headed to the Dr for physicals. I have dropped 26lbs but I was still concerned about my BP since I take medication. I passed and was given a 1 year medical card. Because of the meds I take. We lost one guy and here's a suggestion. Don't brag on well the bar makes drinks at the hotel next to where you're staying or say you could have killed a guy. They take that seriously and will send you home. Tomorrow testing...

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

James, congratulations on the weight loss! 26lbs doesn't sound like it could have been easy. Solid first day; good luck with the tests and beyond!
