    Finished up my release Monday... I chose to be dropped off at Des Moines.. New drivers have to do road test, and back up, experienced just did paperwork, visits with management, and logs... Then we got our truck assignments. Me and 2 other TX drivers went to Joplin, MO terminal to do the checks on our trucks.... I recieved a early 2015 (a 2016 model) 579 with 120000 miles on it..(still new).... Got my first dispatch to deliver near my house the following morning.. Wife came and picked me up..... Slept in my bed..... Got back up there and delivered... Picked up another Graham, TX to deliver Friday in Frisco. Delivered Thursday evening.... Waiting dispatch for Today..... Around 7 when fleet manager comes in...

    TMC trucks cannot get to 35mph in the short space of a parking lot....WTF are you talking about man!! I wish my 579 would go that fast at Pilot, just to keep up with the US Express, FedEx and Conway drivers coming in at 40mph for a landing. lol
