    So what's the maximum turbo boost level you could get out of that truck pulling a hill?

    Well its 4:30am and I'm in flagstaff, as. I've been here since 2:45am and will be here for another 3 hrs. The bus that was to pick us up hit a black bear and is red flagged and can't go nowhere. They are sending a replacement bus from Phoenix. What a ride I should have sprung for a plane ticket. Oh well just the way it goes. :biggrin_2553:

    That blows!!!! I guess it could be worse though. You could be on the bus that hit the Bear and sitting on the side of the road waiting for recovery vehicle.

    The bus made it all the way to flagstaff. It has passenger side damage, ripped the front faring off and bent the door. The door only opens slightly enough to squeeze through. What sux is that I will not be in till tues afternoon, or evening. Then orientation starts wed. Talk about tired. LOL... Welcome to trucking. Like I said before, its truckers training, LOL.....:biggrin_2559:

    I hear ya on the training. LOL If I hadn't purchased the Plane ticket I'd be going through that training right now myself. I would have had to leave yesterday afternoon. This way, I got to have two more nights and a wake up with momma before I had to leave.
