    I thought he was takling D/T not Combinations, ofcourse you need that, thats a minimum requirement!

    yea rio if your takling Combos then you need it but D/T you dont. Sorry if I confused anyone.

    My hometime is done, and I'm headed back out....I call dispatch this morning to see if they have a load for me yet as I would rather sit and wait at home instead of in the truck...she says they will have a load, but it won't be until afternoon. OK, cool...I putz around the house a little doing some honey-dos and taking a little nap :yes2557:

    I get to the truck about 1:30pm and QC in that I'm available. She answers back and tells me I'll have a load in a little while. I get said load.....it's a few miles from the terminal, but has a pick up window of midnight to 4am! I pack up my laptop and hit the road and come home for dinner with my wife (Panda Express, yum) and a quick nap, to be at the shipper 3am or so...puts me on a pretty good schedule of driving, I'll be able to stop for the nights very early evening...cool. This is going to Alabama and Georgia...the description just says "T/L Misc" Never saw that before.... One stop in Ironsides, AL and final delivery Conley, GA. Over 2100 miles with last delivery Tues, so I have a chance to get some really good miles this week!

    Well I am passed the CDL test today, I am holding my permit, I am ready to start school local here in AZ on Monday since the S/W 30 day was cancelled due to a few people dropping. So a 3 week course since I have my permit now so should be at W/S starting 10 day orientation somewhere around May 24.
