    362DC5D1-1176-4AE6-9417-20865BF9567D.jpeg I’m known in my circle to be really straight forward, calculated with my brutal honesty and point blank. So take it for what it’s worth. But my wife is doing AMAZING. I had ZERO doubts about her picking this up quick. 1st week getting familiar with a 13 speed shift pattern, hooking and pulling doubles. 2nd week I threw her into floating and forgetting that clutch. 3rd week you couldn’t tell me that she hasn’t been wiggling wagons and snatching gears for a least a few years.
    I couldn’t ask for a steadier hand on that wheel. SHE ACTUALLY SHOWS OLD SCHOOL TRUCKER EDICT. ACTUALLY KNOWS TO MOVE OVER when a faster truck is coming up. And isn’t TAILGATING like so many do.
    Anyone ever roll through the Flying J exit 7 in Texarkana between 10am and 11:30ish and spot us? Don’t be a stranger.

    Awesome.
    I love success stories.
    I love it when I hear someone doesn't tailgate even more !!

    I might actually be near that J tmrw around that time.. if so, I'll look for y'all.

    Keep up the great work.
    We need all the QUALITY we can get.

    Well I'm speaking from both profession and personal aspects. I know the statistics.
    We have successfully worked together before. And we’re each other’s best friend.
