    Header sez it all. Start school this coming Monday and looking forward to it. Empty divorced nester <Inappropriate comment removed>

    I have had some interesting jobs over the years, Army vet, electronics technician and former police officer. Had enough after a academy buddy was gunned down and losing a infant on a CPR call.

    Time to put myself out there and ride this into retirement.

    Will be attending PIA in West Mifflin Pa.

    Let's start 'er up, pressure up the brakes and roll out!

    Thanks for your reply. Nice pic! You are a lucky man. To answer your question, I really cannot say because I don't k own much.

    Dreaming, but drop and hook would be nice, don't want to deal with lumbers, have heard stories.

    West Coast is cool, just need to figure things out.

    Be safe!

    Don't be concerned about lumpers. High quality reefer companies usually have the lumper service already set up for the drivers, so the drivers don't have to do anything except check in with the receiving clerk. Sometimes you may have to call the dispatcher or Qualcom the dispatcher for a Comchek number. It's not like it used to be. I pulled reefers most of my career and don't recall any bad experiences with lumper services.
