    KLLM loves Cali, Chi Town and texas. This is my last week of training so I added up my miles and its a little over 14000 miles for the five and a half weeks i've been out here. Trucks been running non-stop, trainer making all the money. Just one of those things you have to go through I guess. Right now i'm in Denver, Co. Waiting on another driva to get in to swap loads. But he's a day away. Anyway, got a chance to do laundry, and get on the internet. Can't stay on long, this is .25 cent/min. First chance I get i need to purchase another lap top. mine crap the bed. Going in soon to get upgraded to my own truck.

    The absolute BEST way to tell if you're ready to become a trucker is to lock yourself in a SMALL 98inch wide by 63inch bbc by 7feet high closet. The rule for using the toilet and sink is to realize that you gotta go and then WAIT until you can get over to the shoulder or next exit ramp. you have a deck of cards that have different scenarios such as you can pull over now or you’re stuck in a 10 mile construction zone and you’re 3 miles away from the choke point, and the traffic is going 5 MPH! So you sit and watch the toilet while you need to go and about 1 hour later about all you’ll get out of this in your dark blue jeans is the warm feeling of a pissy arsed job and no one notices it anyway! And that was just #1! If after 30-60 days of living in the closet with about 90 minutes out of it during the 14 hour rule you STILL feel like buying/fleecing a truck go ahead!The moneys' nothin'.

    Talk about a butt puckering experience, Cabbage patch, The grapevine and Fancy gap. Swewwwww, you couldn't drive a needle through my butt with a twenty pound sledge hammer at first. But i'm getting a little better with it now, or aleast i'm a l;ittle more relax. This has been an experience that i will never forget. I loving it.

    Oh, Yeah, it used to be smaller and more fun but these days the room of a whole 70 inches BBC is necessary:biggrin_25524: for your mental health and to combat cabin fever!
