If I have my way about it (which I most likely don't) its WILL NOT say hillbilly haulin. One thing to be a redneck but why does my hubby always have to advertise it so willingly and often! Lord, give me the stregth to not kill him if he does this. He wants me to go to WVC with him but can't still trying to look for a job. And I will never get in a truck that has that on it anywhere. I am proud to be from the south but I am no hillbilly and neither is 1bad. There is a difference between hillbilly and redneck and no hillbilly could afford a new pete!!!!!!!!!

Happy and safe 4th to everyone! If your buzzing through Atlanta the park behind our house has a great fireworks display just give a buzz and we can throw some extra ribs on the grill. Menu for tomorrow is baby backs, baked beans, corn on the cob and macaroni salad. And I'm sure there will be some kind of adult beverages involved! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Welcome to the central mad house!

Good luck with the school and any questions you have feel free to ask.

JJ has a student on the truck for the next 26 days, so he is out!

There are several guys and girls from the forum either in WVC now or going there on Monday.

From what I understand BIGJA and Chevyman are doing great in all there tests try meet up with them and they can tell you what to expect.

Welcome aboard CHIEF. Sounds like the class starting on the 6th might be kind of full. Best of luck to you, this looks to be quite a change from your present job.
Noticed your hometown in Mo.--don't worry I'll save the wise cracks for someother time. Just curious though, what were your High School sports teams called?

Looking forward to reading your posts as the coming weeks roll by. I start there on the 13th, maybe you can give me some pointers during your second week.

"Southern Redneck" is better I think!!!!!!!!!! At least that is a true statement. He is southern and king of the rednecks! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Hope enjoyed talking to the other truckers on the cb. 1bad said that she thought that was the coolest thing since sliced bread was invented. Other than that I think she got bored really quick. Hard to keep an active girl so closed in for too long ..... ya know? I think a 5 day trip was about as long as she could handle it. I know I was glad to get her back home she's not away from me that long very often. And being on the road is dangerous I know I was a bundle of nerves the whole time she was gone. I can't replace her!

Welcome Chief!!!!!!! Glad you found our little room in the asylum! 1bad will be heading to WVC on Monday to pick up his new mistress. (as Jess, calls the petes!) He will be the one most likely wearing a red GA hat. With brown hair and a goatee. Oh yeah and you might notice the beer belly................LOLOLOL Feel free to strike up a conversation he is a talker to I think that is why him and JJ got (gets) along so well. Anyway any questions you have ask away if we don't know the answer we will do our best to find it for you!

Stay safe.


It will be great to post your experience on the thread and it will be invaluable information to future females on the thread.
