Give them a call on Monday and find out all the particulars. We have a few drivers that live all around your neck of the woods there.

My pleasure. You will find shortly that we go to alot of the same places over and over. You'll probably load at the paper place nearby, let me know and I'll give you directions.

It's the testers judgement on the road test. When I give them the first thing we do is make a right turn. If he/she doesn't rub a tire on the curb or knock down a pole then the rest of the test is very easy. I gave a road test in Orlando last year and flunked the guy. Everything someone can do wrong he did, then he wanted to argue the facts with me.

thanks for the well wishes everyone. Sorry for not updating until now, i finally have some time until i deliver tomorrow in the am so as i write i'm hooked up to idle aire at the ta at exit 173 on i-80 in pa. The company wants us to use idle aire as much as possible to cut down on idleing. No problem, they pay for it and i'll use it!

Here's a recap of what i have done since my last post.

Left monday,
deadhead from jupiter fl to griffin ga. Load in griffin ga deliver wed. In mountain top pa. 1350 paid miles.

Deadhead from mountain top pa . To hazelton pa. Load in hazelton pa deliver thursday in reed city mi. 729 paid miles.

Deadhead from reed city mi to kalamazoo mi. Load friday in kalamazoo mi.
Deliver mountain top pa. Saturday 759 paid miles.

Load sitting in yard in pittston delivering in jupiter fl monday am 1235 paid miles.

Totals for the week:
4073 paid miles x .36= $1466.28
3 drop and hook
3 live unload no touch total of 3 hours unloading

can't really complain about anything. I feel as though i adapted to the way the system works very well.

The truck that was assigned to me is an '05 volvo with 705k on the clock. It took alot of elbow grease and sweat from the wife and i to clean this tobacco stinking nicotene covered truck to get it into reasonable shape for this non smoker to be able to live in the space without contracting any sort of second hand disease. I was told that i shouldn't get to comfortable in the truck as it's due to be taken out of the fleet. They got 20 new volvo's in last week. I'm hoping to get one of the less older trucks from one of the senior drivers when they get one of the new ones. Well all, thats about all for now. Time for bed. Need to be up and on the road at 6 am. See you all later. Be safe!
