    Same goes for me too. (42 years) Does Abilene have enough trainers that if I request a non-smoker it won't be much of a problem?

    They do, but there's not that many non smokers. My only suggestion would be to ask. They are very accomadating with the smoker non smoker issue. I have to double check to see if my new trainee falls into my parameters, if not I can talk to them about getting you onto my truck.

    It very well can work. Drive it like you can legally. The load can only get there when your logs say you can. It's going to BH, it's a drop and hook whenever you get there. Just send in a freeform message in the morning letting them know what your ETA is based on your hours.

    Funny Story... (continued)

    After my FM clarified to me that the time/date info on Gatorade loads don't really apply... So I can drop them anytime... Yup...

    I show up "too early" and get turned away!!!

    :sign5:

    Guess I should have taken a longer break.

    :D

    Not a "hero" at all. Just doing what needs to be done while trying to maintain. But, thank you for the support.
