Unloading these yams in Ontario, OR.
After putting 100 gals in the tanks in Bakersfield, I scaled out at 79,990.
Fortunately, each axle was legal...barely!
Even with all that weight, I made 7.7mpg getting here. What a feat!
Sometimes your log book rules everything.
Had to shut down last night 62 miles from the final.
Quiet spot at the OR/ID state line, tho.
Think I'll take a couple days off now.

Shifty,
Good luck in whatever you do.
You gave it your best. That's all anyone can ask for.

Training pay reembursed: I was told my training will be reembursed, is that true?
What is the salary while with an instructor?
How long is training?

Home time: How long are you normally on the road before returning home?

There is a secured lot in Ft. Lauderdale that I know of.

there can be a fair amount of room for negotiation.
First of all, you have a $500 performance bond that you've already paid. That's gone.
Depending on the condition of the truck, how much you will owe can vary.
Challenge anything that you feel is normal wear and tear or not fair.
They give in this area. Bonnie is the person that makes most of those decisions.
Play on the part where you've been there as a faithful lessee for four years (or so) and would like to feel you're leaving on good terms, that in the event things don't work out, you can come back.
they tend to be a bit more gentle if they think you are thinking of returning if things don't work out.
Basically, your maintenance account will be zeroed out with repairs.
Otherwise, is shouldn't be bad.
Unless there is undue wear and tear, or body damage (remember, you have insurance for that), there shouldn't be any additional costs.

Thanks Emu,Ill take your advice.Already knew the bond was gone.My truck is in pretty good shape.Just normal wear and tear.Hopefully it should be ok.

Or2 sucks. Boring. I understand the safety part. But the days in the class are getting old.
