Way to go Gunz! Just be careful and don't let your guard down. I've had many folks I've trained that do well in training, then pull a bonehead move while on their own. Always stay vigilant, especially in close quarters and truck stops, that's where most of the stuff happens.
-
good job, keep us posted
-
How'd you get lumber up here? We have a cabinet door factory but I believe they use van trailers.

dawgfan... a fellow traveler I see... we took lumber up on a flat...

finished first 11 day launch alone in Evo 3, every day is like a scavenger hunt, went to a place in Independence, Mo. they call the cave... its a cave full of factories... 30 ft wide road with rock walls... had to jackknife the trailer into a dock you couldnt see,... with cars and trucks all tryin to get past you.. sheesh... after that I requested close quarters training to make me more confident in those places.. great DSR tho, keeps me moving... I may even get an apu by spring
I head back out on Sunday at 0700 Been to the Kentucky Ice storms to Nebraska, Dallas rush hour to the Chicago loop

decided i hate truck stops, too many idiots flying around, and i spend too much money, i try to sleep at rest stops, easier to get in an out of too...

Thanks for the update

Keep us updated on your progress... -
