from the outside trying to get in

[STLmo1986]

Hey y'all, how's it going? Im in the process of trying to become one of you. I applied years ago with Ameren for an apprenticeship. Didn't have experience, didn't have a CDL. The last 4 years I've been driving trucks, local delivery. Class A CDL. Its a great job, great pay, great company. But as one of the higher ups put it, we're the running backs of the company. Great pay, but the job makes ya old. Running up and down a ramp out of a truck 300-400 lbs on two wheeled dolley. And ya gotta run, if ya wanna meet the productivity they expect. I've applied with MO valley JATC. Have my first interview scheduled for Sept. With Local 2. That being 5 months away is there anything I can do as far as being proactive or am I gonna have to be patient. I bought all the hand tools, no climbing gear yet that's a big chunk of change. Got boots though so they wont be a B**** to break in when it comes time. What else should I be doing? Any advice for a wanna be?
