    When I tested out to get my CDL it was in this old green truck, either an international or a freightliner, I always got the worst case of cottonmouth during those days before/during driving and that day was pretty hilarious in particular; at this point all the instructor told us was where to turn so I got that old green machine rollin’ while every other single person tested out in a newer day cab, floating the gears no problem in a 10 speed all the way up to 6th/7th gear and the whole time I was going like 15 to 20 miles under the speed limit lmao! My instructor was an older woman and when I realized how slow I was going I asked her if I should speed up and she busted out laughing at me! I think I did pretty good considering I had driven a semi more than any other vehicle during that one month :D

    I am a dock bumper today...reefer is better money than the deck....hoping spring gets me back outside.
    Tragic to have to choose between coolness, ie flatbed, and cold, ie not turning up the boiler cuz you are making dimes not dollars Lol
    I can't see any loss using the blue shop towels.
    And vinegar dissolves bugs....
    I don't smoke as of OCT 1, 2017 but when my ex husband and I were smokers the vinegar seemed to cut the tar better than windex.
