My Prime eLog - Starting Nov. 29, 2011

Here we go... I pulled the plug with the help of my friendly Prime recruiter and I start class November 29, 2011. It's been a long, and at times, a difficult journey to get to this decision. Just ask DD. If you are married like I am (30 yrs) you do a lot of soul searching before making this decision. I feel for those contemplating a trucking career especially if you have young children at home. Fortunately, my daughter is grown and in the Navy.

If I get past the physical at Prime there's nobody's fault but mine if I don't make it through the course and on to an "A" seat. If I last, I should get plenty of SNOW practice between now and spring. <100 watt grin>

If I have a senior moment with stupid questions, please forgive me in advance. I'm going to need all of you, my extended Prime family, to make this transition a success .

If I'm not on the forum during training I can be found at Twitter and FourSquare as @GSWx or http://saf.li/c7bfm

Thanks...

Yeah, if my bitter half, oops better half wasn't in total agreement I would be staying home. I'm looking forward to getting started at Prime and learning all I can. I will need to find a non-smoker as an instructor or perhaps they will find me. I'm looking forward to meeting you. Drinks are on me... water, coffee, cola etc.

 

Wearing my positive attitude and can do hat. I'll be the first to take you up on the offer to help. Thanks!

 

To put it bluntly I'm not wearing any panties. Oops again, wrong forum.

I'm not one for eating at a truck stop or other greasy spoons. I eat mainly fruits, fresh vegetables, nuts, and only drink spring water or strong black coffee. My meal expenses on the road hopefully will be about the same as being home. I spend $50-70 per week on my supplies. Believe me, I will eat meat now and then if there's a Ruth Chris or other fine steak/chop house in the 'hood. I doubt I'll be seeing any of those with truck parking Thanks for the penny-pinching offer.
