Walmart here I come!

I haven't bothered to have a CB in the truck for more than 7 years. Too much immature crap. Besides, I can get better info on my smartphone or iPad for weather/traffic/etc than anything on the CB. Any time I would need to chat with other friends out on the road, I preferred the cell phone rather than the CB anyway. Much better having a private, uninterrupted phone call instead of the CB.

I agree with grabberblue, more enjoyable to listen to some tunes instead. Times have changed with better mobile Internet and cell phone technology, especially streaming live radio/music. Using a CB today just seems so outdated! More of a poor man's cellphone! LOL!

 

Same here. It is not my truck, and not my CB, so I will not touch it.

With my X company, I would sometimes have it on as I would see other guys I knew from my company. However, through the years I have used it less and less. Whenever you need actual information about something (like road conditions), no one will talk to you. Every so often I would turn it on to laugh at the ridiculousness going on. That was it. My CB is now packed away in my garage.

 

Matt, it's amazing. I am so looking forward to Monday! This is the best decision I've ever made!

 

Its been neighborhood markets for me all day. Tomorrow is a reefer class. Then, next week there is a Grassroots meeting.

It's a tough life, but someone has to do it.

 

Most DC's run on a different channel. A lot of us run on the low side of 19 or 34

 

Thats a shame...the reefers are really nice on a hot day! I'll be doing lots of refer loads as I'm sure your uncle has told you, frequently loaning us out to Pottsville. I look forward to that. Many guys hate doing grocery, but I loved it, did it for JB Hunt my first year, for Walmart just like what Greatwide does for your place. Hope you get that opportunity sometime, it really is enjoyable.

Well I start my mentor week tomorrow. I really can't believe all or any of this yet. Just a couple months ago I was asking questions and telling you of my progress, from first interview to orientation, and now I'm actually going to be in the seat (not the uncomfortable plastic one).
