    i am waiting on a phone call from gypsum express they are only 50 miles away from me and i would run regional and be home two to three days a week but i can't sit around and wait on him so in a day or so i will call western back if they will have me,what if i opt for a refresher course i can drive that's not a problem it is just i have to do my load calls the way i want not backwards like the psycho Mexican....i understand the qualcom just something new to me,so on that thing when you accept the load what is the time frame you have to get everything squared away before they give that load away....

    You really should report that trainer to Steve Brinkley. If you want PM me and I'll give you his number. They really want to know about things like this.

    Base orientation is finished. The van guys are getting seated/trainers tomorrow. Flats have three more days of load securement. First two days are pretty much paperwork and safety training. Our day begins at 0500!

    Day one LS is in the book. Got my TWIC card, they were sending it back Monday. Rumor control: The new Evolutions and Volvos are van division only. A few of the new Internationals may got to flat. Yes 500 of the new Evolutions are DT-12 equipped.

    Automatic Tranny. It has 12 gears and so far a good reputation.
    Day two is coil securement, Alabama coil test, and tarp toss. Gotta toss a tarp on the trailer twice. They are about 125-145#.:biggrin_2551:

    Cold as Denver in October today.

    Makes me glad all I have are 4' drop steel tarps. Probably about 40# or so. None of those 100-150# lumber tarps for me, no sir!
