Its a big class, I think there are 23 of us. Myself, Sal, and Kane are all doing well. We have only lost 2 people so far. One was a guy who got bronchitis. Interesting group from all walks and ages. Some young folks and older folks. So far been a good group and we have managed on the snowy roads ok. Macdonald pass next week though I am hoping for no snow that day. So far everything has been great.

Weather for next week does not look all that bad yet. Some Snow but that is good to learn in it and you can drive anyplace, from snow mountains to hot desert.
Keep us posted and tell Sal Hi from Gordon/Arkie -

Hey Guys!
Finally made it home today! Would have been here last night but the weather in west central ohio conspired to delay me for a day. It was iced up really good down there last night. Saw 4 cars in the median and a truck jack knifed on an overpass before I got to Toledo this morning!
I made it to N.C. fine after stopping at the Volvo dealer in Knoxville to replace my EGR valve. Explained the paultry fuel mileage I was getting from Texas (5.9) and the lack of power when I got to Tennessee.
From there I took some cardboard packaging from Greensboro, N.C. to our terminal in Dalton, Ga. and did a local run to La Grange, Ga. and back. Yesterday morning I hooked up to a trailer bound for the terminal in Taylor, Mi. and here I am!
Things are going pretty well so far, and I've had no other serious issues with my truck. My APU hadn't been working, but they fixed that up in Dalton as well as replacing my air lines and putting on a new set of steer tires. Now I'll spend the next couple of days finally cleaning it out and moving in.
I'll be back out there on Wed. morning. You guys all be safe!

Hey Guy's,
How is the training going. I would guess that the weather has slowed the driving down some. -
I sure hope the weather changes to good for their last week in class and I hope they have more than 3 trucks to share, Maybe they will get them new ones down the street just waiting to pick up.

Hey guys, this has been an awesome thread, keep up the good work.
Hey Raak, I'm planningon going to Missoula 1/2/08, I tried to find the Vancouver location today and couldnt find it. Is it a terminal or just a drop yard? Is there a secure place to park my car when Im on the road? -
The yard usually has about 15 trailers in it and it is hard to miss. -
Thanks Raak, Just waiting on the financing part then Im on my way. I have driven before, but been 13 years, so I decided the best way to get my foot back in the door is to get the training again, and W/S looks like a great place to get the training and looks like a great company too. Do you drive OTR or Regional?

Raak,
How are the miles that you are getting and are you having to do a lot of unloads yourself or do you have lumpers.
