    I pretty much just gave up on trying to get onto it. been almost 2 weeks, my FM was clueless on how to get info on it, asked me 3 times what it was for and now he's on vacation so now even more people to deal with that don't seem to have a clue about anything. Just need them to get me home for my days off so I can get this over with, i got some apartment hunting to do >.<
    Thought I was going to have to start counting up days since my last reset but I stayed out last weekend so im good to go lol

    Good Luck. From What I Hear It Should Be Great. If You Live Near, You Can Be Hinge Every Other Day. And Only StartImg With Like 6 Drivers. I Have To Get More Backing Practice They Said. I Got Out And Looked To Much.

    thats what I was figuring, running thru denver, even if they didn't 'route' you thru denver running between loveland and grand junction, if its the walmart DC in loveland its not that far from denver so would be easy to just drive down and leave the truck in the yard for the night and go home. Now, the down side to this... this run is like 80% mountain driving... when that winter gets here, you're gonna be a chaining freak lol
     
    ther3v3r Thanks this.

    the scariest part of the test for me, as weird as it sounds, was using an automatic lol i had never used one before so it was soo weird. and then my truck was also an auto, so for the past 6 months i havent used a manual, now im back in a manual but glad because i felt like i was going to forget, and since it was just a truck swap it wasn't like I was getting tested on it to see if I could still do it. these things seem to be a bit more forgiving than the pete I used to drive last year, and compared to my last truck its like a prius... i dont hear anything, and so smooth when backing under a trailer I dont feel a thing. power seems a bit lacking but i think thats normal for these trucks lol

    Well, I think northeast is for east drivers. . I get a lot of ohio loads.. thats about it. My friend actually wants to go to nj but they just cant seem to get him up there.. he got on the do it best outta waco tx.. so he never sees east of oklahoma or west of arizona anyway now..

    I remember hearing it isnt forced dispatch but you dont want to turn down load after load.. so no one gets pissed. Welp, good luck r3v3r, they aint sendin ya home.. your hired. Did u get a kw or freghtliner? Look at it like this.. least ya never get far from home and youll be a pro when it comes to chains..
