    Well, my first load (yesterday) was from Neosho MO to GA. Dropped today and picked up mty and then headed north for a load tomorrow headed for SC.

    A day to go 163 miles .. I guess they can't all be long ones .. heheh
    Got to say, driving all day (non Interstate roads) with a loaded trailer is a LOT different than school .. hehehe .. but I'm doing great.

    Later,

    Tinman!

    I enjoyed reading your experience. My husband and I are thinking about going team with Conway once I get trained. Thanks for the reading, I know what to expect.

    Sounds fun. Nothing wrong with a short day every now and then.

    Well, what a week .. it's been great.

    Started in Joplin MO, hit GA, SC, CT, ON Canada, and now sitting in El Paso TX waiting for a load. I have about 4200 miles so far (10 days).

    Trainer seems real pleased with my driving, routing, and customer skills. I should be ready for my own truck within 2 weeks .. if the miles keep up .. but may have to wait 2-4 weeks to actually get my truck .. big shortage of trucks right now. For me it works out ok as I need to finish moving out of my house and need to get my Hazmat and Passport ... of couse 4 weeks is too much time :( .. just have to wait and see.

    Still lovin' it .. though it IS a whole different world :)

    Tinman!
