    Hi Everyone,

    I am a rookie truck driver who took some time off the long haul road but maybe having to make a comeback tour for a while. I have pulled mainly dry van for a few companies, but not ever been able to find my niche with one and it seemed like everytime I tried to start and get going good something bad would happen, the most recent about three years ago was when my Grandfather passed away while I was on my way home from Florida. I honestly thought that was it for me I was hangin' up the keys for good, but now three years later I have a daughter and a wife who depend on me to bring home the goods I think its time to make my return. I am looking at maybe flatbed this time. I am a little overweight but I think that maybe some good physical exercise will help take care of that, and I cant think of a better way to do that and get paid at the same time. So if anyone out there has some tips for someone who has seen a few miles and is looking to get back out there please feel free to post them.
