    why millis? they have a school 40 miles from where i live, figured i get more home time. the start pay is greater than most starting out companies and heard nothing but good comments from this site.

    ipogsd: LOL i know right !!

    The funny thing is , In CDL School i lost over 10 pounds ,, and my Bro ,, he Gained 12 pounds ,, weird .

    I have lost about 25-30 pounds in the last 4 months and boy do i feel the Difference , had know idea i was pushing 250 pounds ... I think 210 - 200 would be about right for Me now since i am not in a heavy Production Job any longer and i do not need the extra Bulk.

    Trucker Belly,, yeah that's the Ticket ! :) ,,,,,,:Straight road:
