    Probably not. As long as you don't smoke, keep your piss bottles capped, know what deodorant is, and can teach me how to maximize driving hours as team and then as solo, everything else should fall into place :)

    Oh, and if a 34 is necessary, it should be taken near a casino with blackjack and craps tables. Nice rooms, cheap steaks and free sodas. :biggrin_25514:

    My trainer and I are running that now and then some. Pretty cool to see both coast on one run then turn around and do it again in reverse. Caring a lot of tubing but running the miles.

    Glad to hear your pulling the miles solo. As I sit now will be on the truck at least 2 months if all goes well. Plan I heading back SPRIMO June 1

    Oh thats not true, I actually tightened a strap too tight on some cast iron pipe during my TNT training. I had 1 10 ft piece break right where the strap was.

    Probably just my luck, but then again, maybe i shouldnt use all my weight when tightening the straps, i probably have about 100 pounds on your ORD.
