    Been awhile since I've been on here. Went to teams and have been running 7500 miles a week. We are now sitting at the J in Phoenix and will be getting a rolling restart. I haven't had a restart in weeks, but the money is good.

    The team mate is not the greatest. He can't read a map or use the Driver Tech...LOL. He can put in the drive time though. I pretty much do everything else. He'll do for now.

    Hey when I was hired on I told usx I wanted to do solo. Now that I'm in training I think I wanna team. Who do I tell that to? How do they pick my teammate? And how long will it take after my upgrade?

    Oh trust me, just mention to your training coordinator that you want to team. They will make it happen. Or call and ask for Butch Wilson. If there is anyone in your orientation class that you thought would be a good match that is what I would do.

    They don't pick for you. They hook you up with people from your area. You talk and figure out who will work out. Then you hope for the best.

    MtnMoma,

    Once you start running actual teams you will be wishing for these slow periods. Enjoy them while you can.
