Day 1....again....

Don't be fooled, I'm not going to post every day, but I wanted to cover whats gone on the last week. Last Monday I got sent home from school because my blood pressure was too high. I drove the 255 miles home and went to the doctors. Now, I'm on Diovan and Sunday I drove the 255 miles back down here and today, everything was great! I passed the Workwell tests and qualified for flatbed ops. That's good as I would get paid more for flatbed when I do it. They co-mingle FB and dry van drivers (they don't have a specific division).

Today after the tests, we waited at the training center (4 of our 12 classmembers) while the other 8 went to the clinic to re-do their physicals. Most went to unapproved locations, while others had theirs go past 30 days. (Glad I screwed around on that one...) The 4 of us worked on our homework (5 chapters in the book and have to be ready for a general skills test tomorrow). Tomorrow after the test, we work on mapping and trip planning/log books. I don't think this will be too bad. I know how to use a map and log books aren't too bad. I'll keep you updated!
