    Week one has been a little slow, lot of information to take in. Going to the loading yards. The people in the office are great including the executives all the way down. The drivers are cool to us and dont treat us like new chumps. Country, why you still here?!

    I'm glad everything is what you expected it to be! I knew you'd like it here and the best part is, it just gets better...well, the reason I'm still here is because my trainer released me Tuesday but Anthony wants me to finish the week out so that by the time Friday gets here, hopefully one of the drivers that runs up to Princeton, IN are back in Jacksonville to take me up there so that I can see how it's ran up there. I told him I didn't mind waiting (gives me another weekend at home to be honest) but I'm ready to start making some "real" money if you know what I mean? Well good luck out there and if you have any questions or anything, feel free to ask....Country4Life

    I think I would have seen you guys out at Westlake yesterday but I loaded early so that I could get back early (had 8 Camry's and 1 Corolla going to Orlando). I am home now and waiting for the guy that's going to shadow me to Princeton, IN. I am taking my wife to the Doctor today for her appointment so I asked Anthony for today off. I will probably be back to Jacksonville on Sunday to meet up with my "shadow". You guys be safe out there and I will try and post some pics of some of my loads...Country

    Your attachment won't work ..... re-post it but hit the 'Go Advanced' button below, then insert the image/file. It should work then.

    You're welcome.

    BTW - Nice picture. What type of tires ( size - 275's ? ) are you running on the steer axel ? I'm just asking because the two top units on the over head cab rack are driven on thus throwing more weight on the steer axel. If the #1 position was backed on, that'd be more weight from the units power train mass directed backwards over the drives.

    I ask out of habit - I used to run 3 half ton GM's or Ford's on the tractor. Heavy, yes, but also legal. Top two backed on, and the one behind the cab backed on. Height was less then 14' ..... and I don't remember the axel weights, but it was legal, and that was with 275 steer tires. Not much aerodynamics, but with 4 more half tons on the trailer, it paid. Pain in the ##### load to put on, but after a few times, not to bad .... and that's with a NextGen, so NO chains to suck 'em down.
