Headed for Indianapolis for Orientation August 7th...

I smoke cigarettes and those Backwoods cigars, to me, smell like something that was left behind the barn. LOL

 

So I was thinking of doing the regional Tanker. NE regional (Carlisle,) I sure the oreintation and training is hard but why is it they offer 6 days off a month but van regional gets 36 - 48 wkly hometime? That mean tanker is not regional? Can someone explaiN?

 

Finding an MT in Chicago can be an experience, though it's better than it used to be since they started satellite tracking trailers....I very rarely have to go on a "pumpkin hunt" nowdays....

 

JOHNDAY, my need for a non-smoking pod is strictly due to my asthma. It's been well-controlled for decades, but working and sleeping in a confined area where there's been smoking would be pushing the envelope for me. I live just a few miles from one of RJR's manufacturing plants and when the wind blows just right you can smell the cured tobacco in the air. The dialogue goes, "You smell that? That's the smell of money." Yes sir, I know what crop keeps my State afloat. Light 'em if you got 'em, just please not in my rig.

 

Ya, and they look like it too,eh?

 

I'm not sure on either of those, hopefully someone will.

 

PC; Smoking would be a problem for ya then. Can't say as I blame ya.

 

You are doing just fine john.

 

I will be in carlisle next week for the van NE regional.. is there any chance of me switching to SE regional? I think NE will be a little much for me.

Wanted to ask here since a few of you just went through orientation.. so hopefully yall have an answer.

Thanks!

 

Thanks Gypsy, hope you two are doing well!
