    Yup. I stopped in for a truck issue and Opie had to get me to Cville. Albany is trailer only. And they barely do that.

    Gotta agree so far. My trainer has been fantastic. He isn’t just teaching me to drive the truck. Finishing my second week this Monday and I still couldn’t be any happier with Millis.
     
    Steelersjunkie Thanks this.

    Glad you're doing well, couldn't possibly be happier for you. No matter where you end up from here, just never forget your roots. As I navigate this crazy life, that's what bothers me the most. I can deal with mechanical issues. I can deal with bad loads. I can deal with crappy brokers. I can and absolutely have told them to go F themselves. Be true to yourself. You don't owe anything to anyone out here, except for you and your friends. Ride or die with them. Everything else is road trash. Always remember where you started. It keeps you grounded.
     
    MIT and dhellmer Thank this.

    Man, that was the craziest trip I've had since I started. I am not at all jealous of tanker drivers. Had a few scary moments, this would definitely take a lot of getting used to. I now have a very deep respect for those guys. Especially if they're hauling food grade liquids. I can't imagine pulling a smooth bore trailer. F that mess. You guys are nuts. You have a gigantic set of grapes, and I salute you.

    It's really not that bad and most chemical tanks are also smooth bore.
    You just learn real quick that everything has to be much slower

    Yeah you don't want to make the monster in the tank angry, because then it's gonna try to get out.

    Since our friendly moderator posted some Bathory, I'll share with you one of my favorites. I tend to like the later Viking/Pagan stuff over the earlier stuff.
