    Thanks! So I was riding down i85 today when I noticed water from the ac running is leaking by the footwell on the passenger side. As well as the emission malfunction lamp came on...still running fine. Contemplating how I want to handle it...dont want to be in the middle of nowhere in the shop not making money especially when the truck still runs fine. Will probably put it in the shop when I am running through home.

    Be careful, what should someone do? Not stay there?

    Are they checking your heart rate after each exercise?

    I think they mainly check heart rate in case you ever want to do Dollar General or one of those accounts that require unloading. One guy in our orientation failed which meant he had to do OTR. Not a bad punishment compared to Dollar General. Lol

    when I was OTR solo loooong ago (2004)

    they had me do ONE Dollar General load. pay then was good, millage + stop + unload... don't know if they still pay that way or not

    when I got back they asked if I wanted to do it full time.... I don't think they liked what I had to say about it.....

    Just curious on the 48 pound lift test, can you describe the object being lifted, and how it must be carried? Is it like cradling a box against your chest with two hands? Or something different?

    I'm going to be attending Jacksonville orientation in mid-November.

    At the Markham, IL terminal it was a wooden box with some weights in it. The side of it had handles and you walk 20 feet or so then walk back.
