    Was there from about 2-4 pm, we had dropped our load in Dallas and had a few hours till our pickup at the same location. Training won't get team miles until you have over 75 BTW hours. Then your trainer can request team or super solo miles if he is comfortable with sleeping while you drive.

    I was in the lounge at that time so we were prob there at the same time and just didn't know it. I had on an orange polo and I have dreads braided.

    So far so good. Yesterday I drove from Waco to Laredo D&H and back to just past Waco before my time ran out. I drove 10 hrs & 50 mins right out the gate so I was happy about that. My trainer needed a 34 so we sitting in Dallas right now but will hit it hard again tomorrow. At this pace I'm thinking 15 or 16 days and I should have my 120.

    How do you deal with the heat out there in the East and MidWest? Do you have an APU and do new drivers get trucks with APU's?

    Dress light and drink lots of water :)
    seriously, when temps are over 70 degrees you can idle. USX trucks don't have APUs.

    I have never lost money because my APU was broke down.
    I hear many company employees complain often when they have
    APU problems. No problems being comfortable at USX.
