Believe it or not I lost about 40 pounds during the 8 months with them. Not trying to sound negative but most of it was when I was in school and in training because I couldnt afford to eat much at all. I was living on $50 a week.

I can see that totally happenning to me! I will be on a budget myself. I am actually saving up money to 'survive' on while I go through the Stevens Academy. That's why I am looking at late july. Don't want to touch the savings,lol.

yea nascar I understand....when I went to the CRE school in SLC I lost a bunch in the 3weeks there because I couldn't afford to each much. They gave us one meal ticket a day and thats what I usually ate only. The good thing bout taking the training class here in Phoenix....my family lives here. thats where I will be staying so food and such won't be a prob. Will only have to worry bout smokes and all my Mt Dew I drink.

I thought to be a super trucker it would be best to split my time between the terminal and the truck stop ?

When one delivers in the Dallas/fort worth area, we get dispatched to another load in the area.

I don't know who told you about alot of time in and out of the terminal, that is not true.

Thanks Tlea...was just wondering if had an unload in Dallas area and they give me next load if there was time between load I would go to shower or pickup supplies....that sorta thing.
