    Sitting in loredo, tx waiting for load to come across, have about 6,000 miles left to finish tnt, then got to find flatbed trainer to go out with and finish training. Getting a bit tired of teaming, get along with trainer fine, just tough being in confined space with someone for weeks at a time.

    Yeah I k now what you mean. I will finish up by Xmas, but FM wants me to hang for 2 more week after to get things going. Dont have a problem with that. I will be taking the truck home for Xmas as long as I get into SpringMo for the uograde That way the training can have a long break off as I did for Turkey Day. Right now sitting in a TA in Jersey waiting on a load. Be safe

    Atleast you only have to do 30 days with a flatbed trainer... After that, you get your own truck. Its a different world being on your own. As a certain someone else will get to enjoy soon...lol Im with DA1, I hate DESPISE teaming. I dont like living with another person. Despite the hours upon hours I spend on the phone with Seebs n DA1, Im not really a people person. Of course my headset only lasts 6 hours lol Tough it out n youll get your pay off in the end. Your very own flatbed truck! O, n you can use the side box as a fridge if your in a cold area... speaking of, got to go check my milk...

    About 4500 miles left to go, should be done sometime next week. 30,000 sounded like a big number but it has gone faster than I thought it would. Finally got definitive word from safety dept that hitting the deer a month ago won't add miles to tnt, drug their feet on that one, I guess waiting to see if I screwed up anything else. Hope it is going well for you Highway.
