Oh no!!! Not a DI!!!!! I still remember the little sawed off runt I had, that was airborne?special forces and all that. !st night he tells us that basic training is all mind over matter. We don't mind and you don't matter!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Well about time for me to head to Dallas and pick up my last load going home. Have to do a swap with another driver then put my truck in the shop. This will be my 2nd time to this place in Dallas and hope it goes a lot smoother than the 1 st time. Was in the dock almost long enough to do a reset. They even apologized for it also.

To whomever was asking about felonies...I asked mario for the guy who was supposed to team with me (he has one his record) and Mario told me that as long as it's 10 years old they can work with it. Hope that helps.

Got my bus ticket today. I leave Modesto on Saturday at 9:45PM and get into San Bernardino at 9:00AM Sunday. Guess I'll have a whole day to putt around! I got your number Pismo...I'll text you when I am in town. JW...I can't send PM but I can get them so send me your number so I'll have it, too.
::sings:: Im so excited..I just can't hide it...think I'm bout to lose control...and I think I liiiike it.

BTW does anyone know what the closest hub to me would be in Elk Grove, CA (just south of sacramento)

no apu's on company trucks. you have to be under 30% in the summer and 25% in the winter. you get charged for anything over the %. i know first hand!
