    You and the Mrs.? Are you going to team drive?

    Here's a couple's blog regarding their travels on the road together. Husband works for May Trucking, she rides along.

    Pretty interesting blog entries, especially if you go back and read the progression from the start about 6 mos. ago

    I wish! No, the new truck is for my trainer. But hey, at least I'll get to drive one for a couple weeks. A fellow I went through school with came up with me, but failed the skills test. Was sorry to see him head home.

    When all you've trained with are 28 footers, #### those 53's look loonngg in the mirrors!

    Well i got the call that i have been waiting for.Opal made my day by telling me to be in Layton for orientation on the 13th. I am some what nervous and a whole lotta excited. Even though i have drove in the past and in the last year still a little nervous about the road test (why i dont know) and being with a trainer. However being with a trainer and learning the May way can only better my chances at succeding. Any ways hope to meet all of you and once again thanks for all of the information. I am gonna keep posting on here about my experiences with May or here somewheres lol.Drive safe
