    I did ask but they didn't know. I may have to resort to wandering the yard like a waif asking. "Are you my manager?".

    The guy that details the trucks is always very helpful whenever I ask for extra straps etc.

    I hope it's him.

    Yeah. It seems like the turnover rate has skyrocketed lately. You don't see too many drivers that have been here for over 10 years anymore like when I first started.

    Every time I found out that I got a new FM was by my new FM calling me and telling me.

    Wow! The pages are justa flying here. Did 708 today and made Seligman, AZ (Johnson's). Was shooting for the flying hook in Kingman but between a truck that won't do the speed limits and a really nasty down pouring storm through TX this morning, oh well. 15 minutes left on the day clock.

    631 miles to target for the 7am bump. :)

    First trainer? How many did you go thru?

    Obviously I can only speak about John but he was very thorough and we reviewed each one he did. Somewhere in between miles and thoughts of sleep ... lol
     
    KD5AXG Thanks this.

    Just had a flashback to a kids book I would read to my girls... Some poor creature looking for its momma... "Are you my momma?"
