Beginning the Long Awaited CDL Process

Hey Wedge
Just catching up myself as it seems like I have had less time to play on TTR lately. Sounds like things are going well for you. I remember the Ex driving thru the NE alot and you got it about planning your nightly stops as the T/S are far and few between and driving through NY and NJ you got your FEET WET fast!!! So glad you got to see the family though! Nice perk for you. I hope you get your computer issue figured out and can post more often cuz it's nice to know how you are doing and keep up to date! (don't go the way of ORG.........)

STAY safe and keep us posted when you can!!!!

 

Hope all is well in the world of Wedge!

Looking forward to your next update

I got a 300 watt power driver inverter since we can't have a hard wired one and have had no problems with my laptop. Then again mine is an older one, maybe that's the difference.

 

Wedge is going to have some catching up to do when he finally gets back on line!

 

Hi Wedge, glad you are enjoying it. How many days off at home are you going to have? What is the longest distance you have driven so far in one day?

 

Hi Wedge!
Glad you got a chance to catch us up and don't worry-you are not the only other person who has internet problems out there. I love my laptop but also have a smart (ha- baby droid) phone but when it comes to posting on here I almost use the laptop exlusively-too much of a PITA using the phone in my opionion. If it was all I had I could see (Dave did that for a while and got used to it)

I thought USX was mostly an east coast company? If you could get a dedicated route would you take it? If you are staying mostly east of the Mississippi you better get some warm undies for sure LOL! It's warm up here in western NY but by Saturday the HIGH is suppose to be 55 UGH! I actually had to turn the furnance on a week or so ago to cut the chill and also figured get some of the dust out while I could still open the house.

Just remember Wedge- that coffee will be waiting for ya!!!!!
So glad to hear you are liking what you are doing and it's pretty much what you expected!!!!!!

 

Glad to hear you are still loving it! Actually after two days home you will probably find yourself missing it! I used to anxiety if I was out of the truck for a more than a few days. Kinda weird. Still jealous of you. Im sitting here at home while you are out there driving around in the world.

Its great to hear that you are doing well and most important love what you are doing. You have come a long way and have fully earned the right to be happy! I think you had a little more of a challenge then most drivers but you pulled through and kept chuggin at it!

Yeah the east coast is a bit more challenging as a driver. Roads are smaller, and tighter. Truck stops are few and far between and more crowded. Traffic is heavy. Makes it nice when you get to the heartland huh?!

Anyway good to hear from you. Make sure to DRIVE SAFE!!! Also remind yourself to every day. Very important! Sometimes you get caught up in the daily grind and safety is performed subliminally. Make sure to bring the safety thoughts to the front of your brain so that you are fully aware. Hope my rambling makes sense......

Take it easy man!

 

I've been reading your posts that began a year ago...you were right where I am today. I'm 61....spent my life in radio and advertising...but the economy changed all that. I just signed up with sage here at Mohawk valley comment college. Class begins Oct 10... So I've been reading the thread with great interest. Even tho it was a year ago, it reads like a real time novel. Just want to say hello to you and the other cast of characters....like American Trucker and Sammycat.
