    Thanks @Sam it doesn't hurt right now just a little swollen. A few days of medication and sleep should help. Right now the swelling is already going down. I can feel the difference. I'm just glad I'm not still high in elevation. I can only imagine how it'll feel right now.

    Ya, teeth can be the worst... anything.
    Hope it works out for you.

    On the other hand...
    What doesn't kill you, just makes you stronger.

    Hey guys! Been in a hotel for the last few days. I was not permitted to drive with the medication I was taking until I had my tooth pulled. I went back to the dentist day before yesterday and he numbed my mouth up and pulled it out!! No pain now!! So glad about that. Today I'm supposed to get back with my mentor, can't wait to start driving again! Hope everyone is safe and doing alright!! Later

    Glad you're still deciding on coming to swift in your time. Flatbedding should be an experience, a lot of exercise! Currently I am in salt lake city for a high priced load had to drive for 200 miles before I stopped just in case someone followed us. After this going to Arizona, my trainer is getting a new truck, going to lease it. I have about two more weeks then I'm going solo!
     
    Sam Hell and gdyupgal Thank this.

    I would say you are right and wrong. Yes a lot of the times you just take your 10 and run. So you would be right there.
    You should be able to get 2500 to 2800 miles a week and have time to take a 34. Weather you take that 34 at home or not All depends on where you're at it. So you do have some time to your self but it not evey day like most peaple do.
