    You mean when you are still covering basics like how to start the truck? Yeah, you know its going to be a long one then. Asking how the OSR's let him out for road training.

    We had a driver fired the first day solo on our account, got into a kinda major slow maneuver accident.

    When asked about what happened his reply was, and I quote, "I don't understand how they passed me in Indianapolis".

    Flynns in Mercer. Back again on Monday. went smooth enough , but load wasnt ready til 0315 or so. Left the gate at 0330. Guys at Flynns are cool enough. Lotta ragging on each other. Kurt or Curt was cool at GY too. Feeling it today thats for sure but I think not as bad as I anticipated. Glad I have the weekend to recover.
    Found that 80 to US62 south of Hermitage is better than 62 by Ytown. adds a mile or 2 .Route I took back. Had run that US62 from Hermitage on the way back from a JCP run. First hard brake was on that run. to many lights and residential side streets for me.
    Still interested in trying Pa183. Atlas shows it as a secondary truck road.

    I was given Stacys beater. Cleaned up it might not be a bad truck. Have a workable solution to the smoke smell. 05 daycab with 552K on the clock. Pulls well. PM A getting done today and windsheild replaced drvr side. Loses air when parked. Lost 60psi during unload. Qcomm mount ball on the dash side bracket was ripped off in trying to adjust. Thing was sitting on the dash!!!!

    Had told Stacy(dbl) that I wanted out if it sooner rather than later when I first saw it. I will hang with it though. Need to tell her. Turning radius will take some getting used to. On right turns if feels like its sliding out from me. Big difference between these and a sleeper.

    It's not a glitch. OTM gained sentience and IT had to put it down hard. Terminator 6 will be based on the events of the last 14 hours in GB. Who knew that Green Bay, WI would be where the singularity would occur?

    I've been sitting since 0800 this am, in the Kearny Drop lot. I'm 1200 miles from home, what's the bet that I'll be home by 1600 Christmas Eve?

    Although it does make me feel better that the entire GB Division first shift operations team has been sitting at their desks since 0900 this am, and rumor is that all the other divisions have done the same. So at least I have company being miserable.
