Hey, Chrome, sounds like you are doing pretty good. Thanks for the update.

Sixpack, It can be tough trying to hook up while on the road. Just wait, and you will get a load to Longmont Foods or Mcclain or somebody near my house. It always happens when you least expect it.

Im at home right now going back on Monday with a new trainer. My trainer was cool, but I think I was more of a logbook, my wife had medical issues so I had to run home for a week. Maybe get a better trainer next....Hope all is good with you....

what's hard bout handlin reefers except the weight?

Hope the Wife is doing better Dragonmatrix? I am sorry your trainer used you to run miles

She is doing a little better. The trainer I had was on the Dole dedicated so all he wanted to do was run, which is ok, but would like to learn also. I did learn that I do care for the W900..lol.....Maybe next trainer will be better, will keep you updated......

Yep we have been running hard getting some miles after our forced layover at Portland, it was good to spend some time with Johns dad and Mom so at least no truck stop meals.
Anyone in Montana I can recommend Glendive truckstop pretty decent meals at very reasonable prices.........I love the Petro in sparks Nevada good slot machines and nice food.
Clear water MN avoid if you can since the ahem Ladies at the fuel Island think all drivers are ignorant I set them straight about drivers and let them know they were ignorant and also put in a complaint to the manager. Pity because they have really nice Lattes there and the meals were pretty nice to.

We are heading back to Washington and then I think we will get routed back to west Valley to pick up the plate for the truck. We are having a few days at home in August not sure if I will head back out with JJ straight away or stay home for a couple of weeks and get some stuff done around the house and a real bed is sounding very good right now.

Anyway its almost my bedtime so hope all is going great with you guys who are out with a trainer right now.
Have a good one lastkid.

I meant to say I do not like the W900....Love the Petes !!!! Hope my next trainer has one......

I was just messaging safety.
The head of safety told me to come see him when I get to Salt Lake to get my 1 year safe driver jacket, but I had to ask him if they could send it to Conley lol.
Since I never go to Salt Lake anymore, and will not unless they say "Come to Conley to pick up your new truck." LOL

Still Running.
I hope you get a decent trainer Dragon, but the Volvo you will probibly get on upgrade is easer to back than the W900, Pete, or T2000.
Save the long wheelbase trucks till you have some practice in short spaces.
The Volvo is only about a 218" wheelbase. The Pete and others are all over 230".
May not sound like a big differance, but it is in some of the truck stops and shipper docks.
