CFI advertises that they'll train for free of course going through a school such as Truck Dynasty. CFI says that they'll pay for your travel, hotel and meals. The hotel you have to share with someone which is a no go for me. You can pay a small amount if you wish to have a room to yourself which I did.

As far as the meals go, the hotel has a breakfast in the lobby, it's just ok, it's you standard hotel breakfast, nothing fancy... scrambled eggs, sausage patties and cereal. There's muffins, orange juice, apple juice and coffee. CFI gives you $15 a day for both lunch and dinner, so you will have to chose which one you want, lunch or dinner becomes $15 isn't going to buy you both.

There's this lady instructor named Ruby. She has to be one of the sweetest lady I have ever met, she's like the grandmother that you've always wished for. There's an instructor here, ex marine (I know, once a marine...). He's on the macho side and tries to act like a serveant with a chip on his shoulder, but I just try to stay in the shadows to get through this. He talks, lectures, talks some more, lectures as if you've never seen wheels before.

The school is supposed to be 3 weeks long, 3 week LOOONNGGG! Then on with a finisher for another 3 weeks... if I couuld only turn back time, where's Cher when you need her.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

She's right here!!! >>>>CHER !

I'm pretty sure Big Scott has said that the time with your 'finisher' can definitely be abbreviated; especially in your case.

I know, that sucks. Tom had been driving WAY BEFORE 2003 .. but the stupid 'mandates' changed (again) and HE had to go to Roadmaster's and get that darn buck'sixty certificate, too. It is what it is.

I can't blame you for not caring to do a diary, good sir! It's all 'repetimos la semana que viene!' (Times 3...!)

Best wishes; hang in, man!
