    All in the name of safety, gotta love it. I'm sitting here in my truck watching my clock tick down to 5:01 so I can be legal and have my second consecutive 1-5am time period done, forget the fact I've showered, ate and played on my iphone to kill time before I can leave, it's like these last 38 hours don't mean squat. But hey, I'm rested, wide awake and raring to go. I know, safety, right, I got it. Ooh......time to go.

    That was good experience for her.Personally I don't think Donner is all that bad in good weather.It's the traffic in Sacramento & San Francisco bay area that I find dangerous !!

    Called and spoke with Shawn in recruiting. He said when Sally gets off lunch they're gonna go over my app. Fingers crossed!

    Yeah I mentioned everyone I've been talking to so far. He said that all the trainers have trainees right now, but I don't mind waiting.

    Oh yeah I don't mind waiting. I've heard nothing but good about this place, and the fact that I'm only about 10-15 minutes from the terminal makes it that much better.

    I was worried about making this change and battled back and forth, I worried everyone from Sally and Shawn to the drivers on here and I finally decided to come and I am so glad I did. In my 12 years experience I realize there is no perfect company but there is a such thing as a bad one. Not sure how old you are or your home situation but if you wanna run and be a real driver, I am confident we have the freight so you can make good money. The very nice trucks are just a bonus.
