    hey thank you brother, im going to need it...heard some good and some bad, so we will see what happens. i have a friend who runs reefer would love to get on with them but their insurance needs me to have 2 years experience :biggrin_2551:

    Sooo, im going to hit the road in warm and sunny Colorado haha...
    we would love to find a gig in Texas or north/south Carolina but JBS was one of the only companies willing to foot the bill for school with my credit being some bad.

    yea i kind of figured it wouldnt be rainbows and butterflies lol...im lookin at possibly my first winter driving and in mountains on top of that...trying not to get too ahead of myself but if i get my training out of the way and start solo runs i will be a few months into it when winter strikes.
    i will just have to bear through it :biggrin_25523: btw thanks for the welcome. always glad to hear from the veterans.
