    ^ Probably because I just said I was willing to dance for money. However, if you can not stop the picture running through your mind, then I will start to worry about you. :biggrin_2556:

    One of the few toll roads where you can get traffic jams outside of a city. Otherwise a good road, free, fast WiFi available at the travel plazas!

    Haven't been commenting much lately, though I have been reading posts. I've been nursing a cold and am about over it.

    Training/newbies need a grasp on the 70 hr clock, the 11/14 hr day clock, and split clock. Navigating using GPS, but also checking on a map seems key to avoiding going miles off course. Backing does need to be a focal point. They need a good understanding on sliding tandems and whatever else is needed to make their loads legal. On the same note, getting loads scaled promptly to avoid ticketing at random DOT scale check points. As CY said, etiquette needs to be taught, as some knuckle heads wouldn't absorb that from their trainers.

    Congrats on 2 years of trucking, passport! Interesting story shared. It does seem juvenile of the women, but guess they were bored. Seeing a trucker dancing in their truck while driving. ....:biggrin_25516: Guess you did make they're day! LOL :biggrin_255:

    That was a pic of my first truck with TransAm. It is parked at a popular TransAm receiver. Not a lot to go by, but I think some eagle eye can do it, gold star to the first fun seeker who can name it!

    If I had had, an extra 15 minutes, I could've made it to my 1st drop last night. Oh well. Wifi at the Oneida svc plaza sucked. Don't think they had an outdoor ant. There.
