    Congrats on the Pete....nice trucks!

    I finished my school today, 160 hours under the belt. I had only 2 days driving a straight transmission, but the instructor told me I did very well considering. They told me to come by the yard and show off my truck if I'm in the area ever.

    I learned so much from them, and also learned exactly HOW the 4 wheeler public perceive us on the road. Ya know, the really sad thing was, while I was on my road test for my CDL, I got cut off by another trucker!! I was in my lane and he just cut right in front of me, no signal or anything! Oh well, ##### happens I guess!

    I'm now on the fast track to get to Missoula, I go for my drug screen and HPE test on Monday, and as soon as they get the results, I can book my flight. I'll be out there giving Lynchmob, S2B, redneck among others all the heck I can soon!!

    How often did WS say they will get you home? I can't imagine a company based in the middle of nowhere Montana sending many trucks to SoCal.

    Yes I'm serious, and no I am an "Owner's" operator meaning I operate FOR THE OWNER. AKA company driver.

    When I ran OTR the most I was ever gone for was 9 days and that was because of horrible luck with weather. Typically I could turn around a west cost trip in 6 days flat.
