    I found some good Prices on the Propane , George Foreman Grill , 89.00 and it looks like its going to be a great piece to cook with on the road.

    I am also looking into the Intelliroute TND 710 For Navigation ,, any thoughts on this GPS or is anyone using one ? it looks to be pretty good and the price is not bad the best part is its for truckers not cars . :Straight road:

    I think there's a whole other thread on GPS stuff... BUT be careful of the
    TND 710 or any other RM GPS... just look on Amazon and compare the reviews! RM gets HUGE thumbs downs whereas the Garmin Dezl gets more positive reviews.

    Glad to help.
    Yeah, Garmin rules. But the price is cheaper at Amazon!

    Also, if you're just starting out, you may not even need one until you get your own truck.

    YRC Freight, the national less-than-truckload unit of YRC Worldwide, said it plans to immediately add 200 over-the-road drivers in 13 locations.

    You need to get and pay for a back ground check before having that indorsement. I already got the bkg done... now just gotta study and pass the test.

    I too will be studying the Haz Mat along with my CDL stuff to get my permit pre-SpringMo.
