    Congratulations and good luck. Get ready for a jam packed 2 days worth of information. It's a 2 day orientation that should have been 3 days. When you get rolling and have any questions let us know and we'll help you out. I over thought the whole thing and stressed myself out for nothing. I'm still learning as I go but it's a whole lot easier now then it was 3 weeks ago.

    I'm sitting in a rest area 38 miles from my delivery in Newport News. I need to be there at 9am, I'm pretty sure I can make it on time. I know we have some big customers here so I'm hoping to get something to keep me rolling over the weekend. If not I'll go back to the yard and get something.

    I park my truck at the Lake Worth service plaza on the the turnpike when I'm home. It's probably the safest place in Florida to park. FHP and DOT has their headquarters there and at any given time there's about 25 cops running around, having coffee and what not. I've been parking there for years without any issues. When I'm home for an extended period I have a fenced lot I park at on Belvedere road. All the trucks have fridges and inverters in the trucks along with bunk heaters.
