Orientation/Getting to know you. We have about 22 in our class. There are two others who are, like myself, refegees from the tech sector. We have (I think) four ladies, three of whom have significant others who are drivers. The other girl's dad is a trucker. She already has a job lined up in Alaska driving the Haul Road. I'm envious.

Our main instructor has been in the transportation industry for over 30 years. He started out as a diesel mechanic, became a driver, then an owner/operator. He is currently a partner in a company with (I think) five tractors and fifteen trailers.

Our assistant instructor is a retired police officer and he will handle mainly safety topics, first aid and CPR.

I expect tomorrow to be another day of mainly orientation/paperwork and an overview of the curriculum.

'Til later.
