    The physical agility test is nothing more then reinacting things we do everyday. If I remember correctly its lifting a carryon bag the height from the ground to the floorboard of the truck, it's pulling a weight to show pulling the pin on a fifth wheel, it's acting out the turning motion of lowering and raising the landing gear. It's climbing a ladder to show entering and exiting a trailer. It's all of -0 minutes of your time, very simple.

    I'm sorry to hear about what happen to you, I'm not going to go into detail about what I think about low life scumbags like the puke who did that to you, let's just say I truly believe in karma, he'll get his one day, maybe tomorrow, in the same fashion he did to you, or maybe his end of life might be a bullet, or then maybe he needed the money he robbed from you to help pay for his stage 4 cancer treatment. Just sayin.

    Thank you John. I too believe in Karma. So it is why I'm not about it, just moving forward and trying to get to work, and recoup some of my losses he took. But also thank you for the information regarding the physical! I hope you are doing well out there and staying safe in all the crazy weather.

    I know that's why I didn't think much of it when I had my wife drop me off n get back home to get our oldest off the bus. But I guess the drugs have gotten really bad in downtown Marion and I'm assuming I looked to be an easy target to get some money for drugs from. Oh well, lesson learned, life moves on!

    We got down to Colton about 10pm local time after stopping to buy 2 load locks yet again to make WM happy. This is like the 6th time I've had to do this. By the time we dropped our empty, got our paperwork, hooked our new trailer, it was midnight as we were leaving the gate. I drove up to the Loves in Barstow and found the last available spot. I told Ken we weren't leaving until I woke up. It was 4:30 when I got parked, he went in and showered and grabbed a bite to eat, I woke up about 7am local time, showered had some coffee then left. As we were leaving, my dlivery time came across the qualcomm, 12:30 am Wednesday morning, just enough time to stop for fuel. Have I said lately that I'm wore out? Hopefully I'll be at the house in South Florida Wednesday night. My wife has all these plans while I'm home, hopefully sleep is at the top of things to do.

    Driver Mike im glad you're ok!!!
    Im in Binghamton at the TA tonight after crossing into the U.S. early this afternoon. Delivered in Canada this morning. Thank you JB for all your information and advice, the crossings were easy and only took a couple of minutes! Saw a plow / salt truck on its side in the median of 401 in Ontario this morning!!

    you have to wonder where all the load locks end up
    there must be enough for every truck in the country to have plenty


    it reminded me of when i was fishing......my son was 4 and had lost his beachball out to sea
    I told him that the currents took all lil boys beachballs down to an island off NJ and I would bring it back
    when I came home next
    I get home a few weeks later bring him a new beachball. His big smile turns to a frown right away
    But Dad you have to go back this isn't my ball mine was orange and white didnt have any green
    beaten by a 4 year old............sigh
