    Good question. W/S don't hire from down here. Windy Hill actively recruits from my school and their format matches up pretty well to my desires. I'll start investigating a little deeper now into a few other companies that hire from my area. I still have 4 more weeks of school but I can leave early if I choose.

    I know that Armellini wants experience but look into them anyway.

    Honestly, I feel comfortable with all of them. But the KW600 10-speed has a much stronger motor so I'd probably lean towards it slightly.

    Unfortunately, the "kid" did hit the curb with the Daycab. Like the instructor told him afterwards "He isn't the first and won't be the last to hit that curb". He'll get it right tomorrow or the next day.

    I figured the 5 speed Mack would give you trouble. Did you learn how to float gears ? Whats left in the 4 weeks ?
