    If I know where there is an MTY TRLR, I will grab it and send my mac 15, if they have a problem with it, they can tell me. It might be already assigned to another driver but I have just grabbed an MTY before and had no problem. Hell, I have always got the impression that they want us to go find a trailer. This being my 3rd company, you sure have to do a lot of work that company drivers don't normally do but, most of the time it doesn't bother me. I just HATE the non communication part of it.. Craigs right, don't go anywhere until they send the orders on the DT, it may byte you in the arse if you don't wait.

    Just heard back from the training dept. Looks like I'm going to be a trainer. God help them...LOL. I look at it as a new experience.

    Still sitting at home though. No run out of here yet. I don't mind a little extra time off though. Usually they call me early.

    Could happen. I'll probably be done with my first student right about then.

    Vin.....please remember that they are a STUDENT and not an "experienced" driver like your last co-driver.......LOL........I wish you the best and have fun while you're doing it.

    I made it to my delivery in Greenville, SC about 14hrs early. Was planning on stopping at the Walmart 15 miles back but it was hidden on a hill behind the bushes.....and Goggle only showed an empty lot so I wasn't sure exactly where it was and there was no big sign high up in the air...YUCK

    What? No freight out of Fla right now, lol. I spent the last 20 years in Clearwater, I know how that goes.

    Training isnt bad, I actually enjoyed it. Now that they only require 120 hours it should be even better. After a few weeks my trainees would start to get on my nerves, as im sure I got on theirs as well. Now after a few weeks they are done. Good luck, ill be interested to see how your miles go as a trainer.
