    My trainer goes home weekly, as will I. He lives 89 miles from my home, so it's a no brainer for me

    I'll be heading home Friday night when he heads home Friday night. He parks just a few miles from home at a Lowe's, I've got my points picked out for parking spots when I get my truck. 5 to be exact. I'll hit them up in order of preference. The first 2 are gonna be iffy. The last 3 are sure things.

    My trainer didn't want to go home so picked me up from the terminal so I haven't been home in three weeks. Heading home this weekend then were going to be out for another two-three weeks then my training is done. He said he's cutting my training short a week since I'm doing good. So it all depends how long hour trainer want to stay out.

    Another thing I can add to this is, once you have been at TMC for say 6 months or so, if you want to stay out for a weekend let them know to find you something to keep you running! Some of the multi stop loads from Alcoa that take 4 or 5 days pay AWESOME!!!! You will get into the groove so to say and you will see what I am talking about. I have taken loads that make for a very good check in itself! And they can be done in 3 days if planned right!

    Well we are in breezewood pa at a ######## flying j, staying here for a few hours till our appointment in the morning to drop off these pallets of concrete products.then we bounce up to Lancaster pa for a cool load that's die Monday morning at precision strip in minster ohio, that's great cause I live 20 minutes from there.

    Navigating the pa turnpike in a car is easy stuff, navigating the pa turnpike in a loaded truck at night for the first-time, a little bit nerve wrecking. My trainer had me take i470 so I could experience hills and how to handle them without much issue. Was alright
