    I should have posted on this thread the day I got back but what the hell....
    I spent 6 months in Iraq and 2 training prior to that. It was all politics as usuall to get my the TN Guard to Iraq. Guess the Gov. wanted anotherone under his belt.

    Anyway, returned Aug 1st and partied like it was 1999, again...LOL
    Went back on the road Sep 22nd and it has been one hell of a journey. The wife is signed up for school, to get her CDL, on Jan 13th. We will see what we see.... I am on the edge of getting a divorce, buying a truck and living on the road until the good Lord see's fit to take me home. I will know for sure come Jan 14th, pray for me.

    MightyMouse71, did all work out for you with SNI?

    I'm confused.... the wife signed up for CDL school, I'm assuming you're planning on teaming with her? Edge of a divorce? How can you have both?

    I have planned on Teaming for a while now, wife a little slow,,,not real sure it will happen but something has to, if you know what I mean. Losing house, I work to pay the bills while she sits at the house,,,same old stuff, different day. Been together for 24years, don't want to throw it all away but cant continue on same old path expecting a different result. Will know for sure come Jan 13th, that is when she is supposed to start school to obtain her CDL. Like I said, I am just not really sure she will do it.....

    WoW! Was fun catching myself up on this thread but alot of things have changed...LOL I got hurt durring Guard Drill on May 20, 2011 and was laid up for 3 months, and TMC let me go since I was not making them any money, and I had only been with them 3 months. Anyway, the wife and I got to spend some quality time together durring those 3 months I was laid up. She decided she was going to really get her CDL so, I went to work for USXpress, a good company for us to TEAM with, for a short time. I started with USXpress at the end of Sept 4th 2011 and after about 3 months, became a trainer, so I could get in the groove for training my wife...LOL Anyway, she really took to CDL training well and completed her testing with no problem,,,sweet deal! She started with USXpress mid Jan 2012 and we have been teaming ever since. We are making good money and saving to pay her mom back the money we owe her for carring us for the 3 months I was laid up. Than the plan is to save up to purchase a truck of our own. I hate being a trainer but feel I did ok with the 3 students I trained. USXpress keeps us moving and we enjoy it.....
