    Hang in there Bud. Bad trainers are a dime a dozen. Good drivers are hard to come by.

    My new trainer is great & the week I have been with him has gone really smooth. I am heading back to the terminal for testing out this next week. Hopefully that will go well.

    I was just woundering if when you are with a trainer do you so call run as a team or do you run strickly on the trainers hos? I have seen it both ways and was just woundering,it sounds like these companys are in bad need of trainers who knows whats going on. Not just someone wanting the extra miles.

    Well I got my truck sat & was dispatched on a 48 mile call in a monsoon. did the run dead headed back to olathe to pick up a load going to NJ then from there I am going to texas. I am happy about it so far. I got to NJ a day early & they will not take the load untill 2 hours before appointment time. that is fine I plan on running hard on the texas run. wanted it done by thurs so i can drop it for the first payday but looks like it will not happen. I will have a good start to the next week. It is not due in texas untill friday. I like my dispacther I have chated with him a few times & got lucky I was assinged to him. so far so good though no real problems we will see how it goes tommorow morning & afternoon here in NJ. Just baught a cb & put it in my handle is BBBYpsi say it like 3 B's then the Ypsi which is short for Ypsilanti. drive safe all.
