    well off to I believe Americold tomorrow morning to pick up that's finishing week one with my trainer been farting off on the internet most the day been seeing allot of our trucks heading the opposite direction try to wave or flash my lights as for starving spider , out of all the companies I did research on May was the one with the best training program vs (swift,werner,crst,c.r england ) to help get me ready for OTR our equipment is far better condition then most companies and pay is decent starting out not to mention everyone I have met so far has been really friendly and I'm treated like a person not a number I'm very happy with the choice my trainer has 15+ yrs of driving exp so I stand to learn allot from him
