    Yea he said everything was good but he wants me to practice a bit more because I got kinda nervous in bumper to bumper traffic. I was having trouble coming to full stops and starting back up so he wants me to work on that

    Excellent! If he would give me his word on a shot a a job, I'd take the first team gig I could find.

    "Six, we thought you were against teams."

    I'd want one of those smaller company's. I d want the most miles in the least amount of time.
