    You have a couple goals the first is protect your record and cdl . The second is to develop good driving habits hang in there work hard and smart and in a couple years trucking will start to pay off for you at a better company.

    Well, I'm on the DollarTree account now...I hope the mone is worth throwing all these boxes lol.

    By the way, anyone ever get this error msg when sending in macro 8...

    "The date you enter for your home time must be at least 1 days in advance of the day you enter the request. And must be 1 days after your last home departure."

    I'm trying to put in for 06/04 and tried several times now. I'm going to call my DM on Tuesday and tell him, just wondering why the heck it won't go through!!!

    Once was picking up a preloaded and sealed trailer and was asked to sign the bills that they loaded and I counted. Said no way in *(&^ I was going to sign that. They would not change is so went outside, a little pen ink, SLC and noted it.

    If you are at home now it will not take another until you are finished. If you are just leaving the house many times it will not until you are out 1 day. Normally it would say at least 5 days in advance of requested date.

    The computers might be acting up again. I remember being told that there was some issues again yesterday.

    After about six month the coolness of it being new will wear off and you will start to wonder how it can even be legal for swift to own slaves and you among them dont lose heart stick it out and leave when you have the seat time.

    I might just do it long enough to get out of debt, and then go OTR for a little bit. And then hang it up and find something local, maybe hauling gas or something
