Starting Out

Career Change

Two companies offer me a chance to train with them ... I selected Swift Transport since they are a large privately owned company. My training starts on Feb 9th in Tenn. Looking forward to it but I will miss my daughter's birthday. She is good people though, she understands. I am hoping we can spend a couple of weeks in the summer traveling ... fingers crossed.



A few things I need to do before the start of my training:

• Passed my DOT Physical Examine with flying colors ... was worried about my blood pressure but that was a non-issue after changing my morning diet (Lost 10+ points with oatmeal baby!!!) Had an issue producing a urine sample ... stage fright maybe? But after 20 minutes and a few glasses of water I delivered.
  
• Took my Class A written examine ... the tests were easy enough but a few others struggled with it which made me feel a little better since it was not TO easy. I have yet to take a good picture for my driver license ... looks more like a mug shot!
  
• Finished viewing Swift's training online modules. They were a little dry but full of valuable information.
  

Blogging

I plan to post pictures / videos and note things of interest for family and friends. I figured a common link instead of mass emails would be preferred. We will see.

This "blog" is in rough draft ... I will change the format and style later. ;)

And yes she is older now ...

And yes she is a little older now ... but the scared look in her younger pic fit the topic.
