    Got my truck. Getting a new windshield, mattress and possibly one new drive tire... just one is wearing funny, but it was underinflated.

    I got a 2011 Volvo with 180500 miles. Great shape... drives nice. I got some of that citrus spray in the can from Pilot for 9 bucks... took the stink and cigarette smell right out of there... here's a couple of pics... video coming at some point in the near future...

    I filled out my inspection report.... marking down any scratches or dents. There were only a few little things. The windshield and one tire were the only real issues. That and someone cut off the end of the coax cable for the CB radio.

    Got a quick pic with the outside...

    Yeah... while I had fun during training, I'm looking forward to working alone. It's one of the perks of being a trucker that runs solo.

    I get to control the music, CB and all that now... Fun times.

    I will, but my truck is in the shop getting a new tire, CB cable end and a new windshield. I'll make a video when I get my truck back and post it next time I have wifi

    Here's one of three videos. Uploading the other two while my truck is in the shop.

    All is really good. I'm getting decent miles and busy as hell... exactly what I signed up for!!

    Smaggs,

    I am at AIT now, and was pre-hired with Knight Reefer as well. I have been trying to make a sure decision between Knight and Werner. Do you have any feed back at all?

    Thanks,
