    She's still getting training pay, right? It'd be a bother, but I'll take paid hotel time, lol.

    Yep...we are both getting paid. At least she got her ten videos knocked out. That means we can run hard once we get back on the road.

    Thats a part of the game most students don't get to see in training. its good she is experiencing it now so that it can only go uphill from here. Especially since shes not complaining and taking it the way she is supposed to since her or the company have no control of the situation that happened.

    They ended up giving me a different truck. This one is in not so great shape, but it runs. The DT had an error so I had it replaced today in Irving. I also had them install my inverter. They got me in and out quick.

    The differential ate itself in the last truck. I had to rent a car and go recover this one. Somehow I managed to fit all my stuff into an Altima...lol

    So here I sit in Irving. We don't pick up until tomorrow at 0900. Then we head up by Kansas City.

    Student has about 65 hours in. Her shifting is coming along, but the backing is giving her trouble.

    I've seen Arnold tractors hauling flatbeds. Twice.


    I don't know any details about flat bedding with our sister company.

    Can we still call them our sister company? Most of the company was sold to Link America.
    I don't know how USX makes money with owning such small percentages of these companies.

    Arnold and LinkAmerica merged and is run jointly by USX and Tenex.
