I like scooters posts. He is still in the know with people he talks with at May. It is true things change and policies change, but it's still basically the same.
I think his post about you knowing more was a positive one. He was conceding to you since you are still a trainer. I'm not training any more and will be leaving at the end of this week, will I not be welcome? I hope I can still be, otherwise, who would keep platinum from going over the edge? That's a big responsibility

so we got into denver last night before the snow started taking over, got to sleep in my apartment which I didn't think i was going to see again but had some extra funds from the VA this month which gave me enough for the rent. then just asked for an advance to cover me for the week lol
we dropped our load at the walmart DC in loveland a day early, done at like 1700, but when we submitted it for 020212 and the delivery date was 020312 the night crew for some reason put us available at 1700 on the 3rd and not the 2nd so we sat around in the morning for a while before they realized why. Got a load from purina (which I really hope I never get cause there were like 4 may drivers that had to keep returning for being overweight) and we finally got on the road at about 3pm. sitting in rawlins, WY for the night. I really need to get a notepad on a stand/suction cup or something to stick on my dash, I never remember our routing when I'm driving...

To help remember your routing while driving, black dry erase pen on the upper portion of the windshield. Do a day at a time and it won't take up much room. Doesn't work at night, but is great during the day. You can wipe off where you've been with a finger as you go. Also if you look at it and read it enough times as you roll down the road, once it gets dark it will be in your head. Night time problem solved.

spoke to my friend I met at my truck driving school that also came to may after graduation, guess the truck he got out of denver had some issues so he ran it up to layton and they worked on it some but they still have him sitting in the yard after 3 days. Have about a week or so of training, getting better at running down the gears faster lol, but hearing about how long he's been sitting kinda makes me want to stay with the trainer a few more weeks lmao

no i wasn't a bubble head lol
um, not sure which passes are the big ones, my trainer is 11 western so we've just been doing loads between WA, OR, CA and CO mostly (of course we hit few other states between CO and CA but just driving thru up on 15)
as soon as we did our empty call we got another preplan which the trainer didnt expect so we ran up into WA sitting in yakima right now then selah in the AM for a load going down to tracy, CA.
