    Cool beans, we'll be there. Think we're doing some securement training tomorrow, and some other classroom stuff. I should be in the driver's lounge in the early AM, before we start.

    Got our trucks up from the Cressler yard today, and got to meet the folks down there. Seems like a pretty good operation down there too, though they could use some newer straps and chains. :p

    Hope to see ya tomorrow Runningman. :)

    After today and meeting Runningman, I can say that Keen loves to hire Marines.... or maybe they love hauling OD/OW stuff. :p

    Well, was a decent enough week for starting out. Got to take a PC138 excavator out to columbus from the Keen yard on Tuesday, Wed. del. Then picked up a load of painted plywood to bring back to Ephrata for Thursday. Was a tarp load though. Forgot how much tarping sucks, specially during the summer, but that $70 for it made me grin after it was done. :)

    Got a van load today that dels in MA on Monday AM, so spending the weekend at the house. Been good so far though. Definitely can't complain about the people working at Keen and Cressler. Seems like a top notch group of folks so far.

    Was cool to meet you to RM, I'll be seeing you around again I'm sure. :)

    Hehe thanks. The tarping is one reason I'd rather be over at Keen, but I guess I can put up with it for now. At least the tarps aren't as heavy as the ones I had when I was with Melton. A 135lb guy slinging 110+lb tarp around just doesn't work. :p

    What have you been up to lately Keendriver?

    Hey guys what is up, I'm hoping to be part of the team at cressler soon myself. Been out of trucking for about three and half years. Miss it bad, I saw all the talk about hiring ex-Marines, I hope they hire Air Force as well. Look forward to reading all your post, thanks

    Well coming off a weeks vacation tomorrow. I guess its back to the daily grind, it was nice to take a trip with the family and just get away from that #### truck for a week. I have to head down to union pier tomorrow in Charleston S.C. and load. I will update more in a few days.
