    There’s a joke about girls going to college. They all gain 15lbs during their freshman year....

    I always see the one year mark with a mega as the real graduation day.
    Are you going to stay with Western or do you have bigger and better plans ahead.

    I’m a man in search of a plan right now. Western Express has been good to me. The people in the Bloomington yard are awesome and I’m going to begin looking at options. Obviously I’d like more pay, more time off, better equipment etc...but as unheard as it is I’m actually happy at Western. A driver friend of mine says I’m suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. LOL

    There's nothing wrong with liking where you're at. My first 4 years trucking I spent with Schneider. OTR, regional, then local. I've been local for 20 years now and I always see my time with Schneider as a good foundation. Good luck.

    I want to see this done as a South Park episode. Homer's nuclear plant is shut down, and he gets a job as an OTR driver. Bart joins him on the road.

    I would not be surprised if the idea has already been done though. I haven't watched much TV in the last 30 years.
