    Lots of them. Not the greatest drivers.

    Started driving for them on 5 May 22. After two day orientation in West Memphis they assigned me a 2021 international with 63,000 and in #### good shape. Started with short runs of 300-400 miles first week then week two started to get decent runs. 2500 for week two and three. Home time for 4 days and back out on the 25 May and we will see how it goes from there. The hotel in west Memphis was awesome breakfast at 0600 shuttle at 0630 and done with orientation around 1600 paperwork and a few videos. All n all smooth transition. Getting use to Qualcomm and macros took a bit to get used to. Constantly communicating with your FM is the key to success don’t know something give them a call 24/7 and they will keep you straight. Be safe out there.

    How do you like that Bendix safety system? My buddy is in a 2021 LT and says he's never had road rage in his life until he got in that truck.

    I watch the 4 wheeler getting on and off the exits if you get too close it will apply the brakes quickly. So I just get in the other lane to prevent that but it’s got me a few times so I started taking the cruise off to prevent the sudden brake being applied.

    It is definitely a shock to the system. Just keep a safe distance and you’ll be fine.
