    Hello,

    My friend just got his AZ license recently and he got his first job with a small company. His boss wants him to go to Texas on his first run alone, what do you guys think?

    Not long ago i did the same thing. It’s easy as long as you have common sense.

    That's a good run to make as a starter.

    Texas? WHOO HOO> HOT DIGGITY.

    Get going yer late.

    God help you on I-35.

    In my early years dispatch learned to get me out of Lancaster PA or roughly. I would pull in to some of the best places that don't fit a semi for a meal with the Amish cooking. I would spend hours eating rather than being on time when I was young.
    Arkansas and Dallas did happen at some point in the 90's and I had some good luck here. Just did not think that I would make a home here of all places. All in all Ive been.. pretty happy within a limited range of possibilites here.

    Even now I am putting together a trip to the Amish Country and the Atlantic Ocean. You can go away from home but home never leaves you.

    Nice run depending on what part of Canada he’s leaving from. It’s still March. Weather can still be tricky!

    I wonder if your friend knows anything about the paperwork n stuff required to cross the border. If he does than I'd say that's a pretty sick route, lots of miles that way.
