So we were sitting in our class room at about 6 in the morning, waiting for the sun to come up as we could get out to the trucks, when we heard and felt this big boom. About a mile away there was this explosion at some place nearby. Not exactly sure what it was, but our instructor called the firefighters as we watched smoke billow up into the sky. Within a few minutes the firefighters were there, along with a few police cars and paramedics. After watching them for a while, and after the sun came up, we continued with our class.
On that front we only have one more day until we test (in case you don't know what day today is, I will be testing on Tuesday), and then leaving this place on Wednesday (due to Idaho education requirements, we have to have a certain amount of time at the school and all, so I can't leave until Wednesday). That is of course assuming that I pass my test on Tuesday. I'm not too worried about it, but something could happen, like running over a curb (instant fail) or something. In which case I would have to retest later in the week. Assuming I pass Tuesday, I will be returning to the wonderful city of Lewiston on Sunday in order to attend Orientation as I officially become a Swift employee, and then shortly after that I will be going out with my mentor. Don't know exactly when I will be going with my mentor, since they don't set it up until they actually know I'll be at the orientation (and have my CDL and all).
Well that is about all, I will update all of you on Tuesday when I know about my test. Other than that this whole schooling thing is pretty much over. So after Tuesday I guess I will continue my updates during orientation, and then after that I will update when I can when I am on the road with my mentor for six weeks (when I'll be able to see and experience the life of a trucker first hand).
