    OMG with everything that has gone on in the last 2 weeks, I never posted that I got to meet HighwayMan at Tunnel Hill. It was my pleasure to have met that man and sit and shoot the bull with him.

    It was nice to meet ya brother. Hopefully they got you driver tech all setup.

    OK, I was approved to go to orientation! All I's dotted, T's crossed. Now if I can remember how to drive after being out for so long. Looking forward to getting back into it and hey, they told me I will be able to be a trainer again (after my time with one of their trainers.) No problem though, need to catch up on the new rules and such.

    This does not surprise me. They bring in around 70 per orientation class and let half go. It makes me wonder if Greyhound gives them a discounted rate since they usually go back via Greyhound.

    Ummm to be honest, there could have been more then one person that had this truck. I was amazed when I did the first pre trip on it. 1 gallon short on Oil, and all of the tires only had 80 psi in them.

    I hit my first day with rain yesterday, needless to say the wiper blades were shot!! The looked ok when I first looked at them when I got the truck, but what a difference when I tried to use them.

    Sitting in the Laredo yard tonight......don't think I've ever seen so many trailers so hopefully I'll get a load out really quick.

    Stopped off in Irving this morning to say "HI" to Dodd and then just when I was getting ready to leave I got pulled in for a Random...LOL
