    I was a bartender at legg's & bogarts owned by the same person. Legg's burned down a few months ago & is now being redone & will be called John's hot spot.

    Could you send me info as to where you have been reading bad things about Teletype? It could be beneficial in my small claims case to show the judge I am not the only one who has had issues.

    Ok I just got done with the first day of orientation. Some paper work,drug screen physical & road test. Passed all without a problem. I like the kenworth & the automatics are really sweet. The next two days will strickly be class room. They told us to look over 4 chapters tonight that they will be going over tommorow. Then with luck hopefully I will have a trainer here for me Friday. I am excited about this whole thing. they gave us pizza for lunch today. Well it's time to do some reading. Met the president & he is also the owner & was really nice. I will keep a update on what is going on.

    As to GPS- Garmin is definately the best.... but the "truck" setting isn't foolproof... it just selects main routes.
