I am stuck In the west valley area for the weekend so I can get my upgrade finished out, i upgraded in conley. They got me doing local work for the weekend, so that will at least help pass the time. Right now I'm camping out at the J on the 215 at exit 28. Have to go 8.2 miles in the am to get loaded at farm land foods, then bring that back to the yard. Now that I have introduced myself I'm going to bed.

hey!!! im at the terminal... heading out tomorrow afternoon!
congrats on upgrading!

Dark, sorry to hear about your tooth pain. Just in case ya don't know, you can get this stuff called "Red Cross Toothache-complete medicine kit" at pretty much any pharmacy such as Walgreens,CVS etc. Wal-Mart does NOT carry it.

It has Eugenol, which is a synthetic/concentrated version of the ingredient in Clove Oil that kills tooth pain. It actually works great. Just don't get it on your lips or skin. It'll burn and crack tissue like crazy, but is surprisingly effective for tooth pain.

Just thought I'd mention it as it really helped me when I had a filling fall out.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that it's better than Orajel (Benzocaine) imho . it lasts far longer and actually kills pain.

Well thank ya coal.. Ill have to pick that up, I was in a car accident when I was a teen.. It did many things.. It also fractured my jaw to a point it needed to be surgically fixed and my insurance wouldn't pay.. So my teeth crowd together and after a few months of getting one pulled.. The one beside it has rubbed a hole in itself, thus causing me pain.

So awesome.. New guys!! I have a perfectly new-to-you-used 09 w9.. Ill be willing to let you take over my lease.. Ill throw in some toilet tissue and vodca for ya if you take it over... Hahahaha!! So are ya'll still getting 450 a week for training pay and stayin out a min of 28 days?

In MT Vernon Il for the night. Wondering if I'm gonna have to deliver this to WVC myself? But I'm happy to get as far away from the CDF as possible so as to escape the gravity pull.

So I have no idea where I'm really going beyond where I'm at right now.

What's with these new guys getting new trucks? When I upgraded I got a '82 cabover with 5,000,000mi, no A/C, broken windows, and smelled like a skunk died in the engine bay.

Hey DM... repower my load and you'll get to WVC quicker.

You are lying your rear off there Boot lol.
You probably got a newer truck than I did. Since every truck I used when at Central was traded before you got there.

Maybe that was my assigned truck in the military? Got a bad memory ya know. My first truck was a '09 W9 with 85k on her, tinted windows, shiny chrome and a few chicken lights. #### lot lizards wouldn't stop knockin on the door.

Now I got a '10 prostar with a bar and a gun rack in the sleeper.

What I really want is that truck in "Duel"!

Well... n/w has unimpressed me again. Sometime between yesterday and today they forgot this load needs a repower to deliver ontime. Surely there's a truck near southern IL that would love a 1450 mile load before Wednesday.

Oh... now I remember what I was licensed for:
15T tractor w/50ft trailer endorsement. Was an '90 GMC daycab. Olive drab green with brown splotches, would do 55, 56 freewheelin downhill on ice with a tailwind. (never ever 57)
5T, 2.5T, HMMWV, 1.25T 4x4, 37 pass bus, forklift, hazmat and ammo endorsements, small boat coxswain, conning officer and OOD underway for FFG and CG, license examiner, and motorcycle safety instructor.

Ya.. I kinda want a 386.. But I really just want my truckv to get in the mid 7's like my buddy boot.. Because I like my w9.. I love it when its all shined up.. And when I get done.. Ill hav e polished tanks and rims.. Nice wing vent covers.. One of those cool chrome rear light covers.. Maybe a few chicken lights.. Then when I head over to jct.. Ill take it all off and put it on my w9 there...
