    I have the miles for upgrade. Was going to upgrade this week then stay on trainer's truck two extra weeks to keep it running while he deals with med issues. But freight has us going to his house tthis weekend for his issues then will upgrade week of 25th if all holds up. Ready for some solo time. But I like the team thing so once I can I will upgrade to trainer. unless I decide to get a dog instead

    My tnt trainer keeps trying to get me to train... one day when I have the experience I might, but I want my solo time too.

    dont u have do do a year before you start training? that way there you get experiance before training someone else.

    To be a PSD instructor yes you must have a year. To be a tnt trainer you have to be an "A" seat for atleast 2 months. According to my PSD instructor.

    Well hopefully I will see Da1 and ORD next week. Id love to meet u too GatorBaiter but I hope we arent still in Springfield on the 25th for repairs...lol. I want solo time too. This teaming isnt for me at all...Id rather have a dog! Da1, what made u decide to switch? My original plan was to go flatbed but a lot of people have told me that flatbed slows in the winter and is seasonal...most say reefer is the way to stay busy.

    GB I plan on upgrading d same week but should b back in spf by the end of the week
    DTM I wanted 2 try flatbed from the beginning but didn't pursue then after being out here and talking to some guys about it I decided to try it i think all freight go up and down with the time of the year(i could be wrong) how bad flatbed freight will be I don't know yet

    all freight has cycles. just remember once you go flat it is hard to go back to reefer at prime. Terry said that when you were helping us with pretrip. but you gotta do what's right for you. me I don't think I would like it.

    I'll ride the wave of freight with my skateboard, or surf board in this case. No desire to return to the reefer side. Why is it hard to return? Did she say?
