They take that out and in its place they put a blank face plate and attached to that is the blue tree.

Just drove 10 hours straight through tenn. illinois,and some missouri. I have an app called friendjectory that you can track where i am and vice versa add me i need some friends lol my user/email is hondacivicsi@gmail.com
Lil tip on what to bring with you when you go with your trainer is a box of granola bars or other snack, comes in handy when u have a trainer constantly on the run. Sunglasses so you dont have to pay 15$ for a 5$ pair like me. Two forms of currency, knock on wood but i havent lost my debit card yet but i was thinking if i did id be screwed since i dont have a cc or cash, i thought of this because 2-4 times a day you will be pulling this card out.
btw if anyone is interested i have a youtube channel that i describe my life in a couple different aspects. Ill be updating it in about 3 weeks when i get back home to grab my camcorder.
Im at about 35/80 hours of drive time and theres 7/13 days left. -

How could i be giving misinformation when im documenting every experience i come across. I went back in this thread to see what your talking about and the only thing you werent clear about was the guy i said failed pee test and went home. There were two guys who wanted to be lease one guy went home after the results came back which was 3 days in, and the other lease guy got his truck and first load on the 4th day. And i know what tacky is and i dont fit the bill. If i was tacky id be touting ta as a great company and sell u on ta just to make 50bux. Im not saying ta is good or bad im just documenting my ride and if someone thinks this info is useful and they r coming to ta anyway, then hell yea put my name down, why the f not.... Eh whatever
moonshadow, 123456 and bseam Thank this. -
Thanks bseam you always encourage. Btw plan on getting tons of trailer swaps. We havent been able to do a straightforward point a to point b run without having 1-4 swap requests to help out other drivers to get hometime or who have run out of time. A little frustrating setting out going west to colorado and 300 miles in having to go back east for a swap. They do pay for all miles including uncompleted/cut short deliveries, but im going to have to keep a tighter eye on my mileage than i thought.
bseam Thanks this. -
thanks midnight mike for your info I'm starting orientation with trans am on sept. 5th your info has helped me I'm leaving monday morning from north carolina. Is there a walmart or any other stores close to the hotel.
Midnight Mike and bseam Thank this. -
What is that thing 123456? Looks like something i seen years ago lol the first few days i was doing 2-3 hours so 100-175 miles but 2 days ago i did 350 yesterday i did like 500. As far as miles anything u drive from 12:01am friday until 11:59 pm thursdayu get paid for so 3000 miles x .30 or 900$...did that answer your question? Yes theres a walmart 3/4 mile from rockwall tx hotel. Sitting at a petro atm waiting for two drive tires to be replaced. We'll be late on a load, i dont understand why we couldnt deliver first then replace tires, the guy even said you have a few thousand miles left on them and they are legal. Oh well ill be driving again at night for 3rd straight day. Its good experience little traffic but bad in that theres unfamiliar roads so with little lighting around you , you constantly need to slow and speed up and be alert more so then in the day.
bseam Thanks this. -
