    I am wishing you much luck with you Con-way truckload adventure... and with that vmaggs ...a word to the wise...Pro Stars use Gold Antifreeze available only at a dealership and BEWARE OF JAMIE WEAVER IN H.R. I'm just saying I know every driver cannot possibly
    have the problems I had with them in Joplin and Portland after 11 months and 15 days I had to have surgery ....for a hernia..hhmmmm wonder how that happened.. I'm just saying if you have to take time off for illness or similar watch what happens to your insurance. Good Luck and Safe Driving

    Vmaggs, hubby and I got pre-approved with US Xpress. I thought Conway was going to be our gig but God had other plans I guess! We start PTEC Monday morning. I'll be checking back to see how you did on your first load!

    I'm doing pretty good, about 2200 miles so far. The only thing that's holding us back is fighting to get our A/C fixed here in Laredo. We should be up and running today. We're on the board for somewhere. Good to see you rolling. Safe trip!

    First loads in the bag. did a quick trip to jonesboro AR, lets just say it was interesting in those hills last night:biggrin_25524: wish I could say I'm familiar with the 13 speed but with 45,000 I learned real quick:biggrin_2552:. all I can say is the load was delivered on time:biggrin_25525: and I'm on the board here in West Mephis waiting on another. good luck with U.S Express and keep us posted how school goes.

    looks like we got a few threads going here.:biggrin_2551: I've been busy just trying to get in the swing of things. Loving my Cascadia, so far have been on time lots of little screw ups but thats expected. Having a good week should be up to 2000 tomorrow:yes2557: in richmond VA. Hope I do another NE run, I like the extra .05 a mile. I'll be checking in from time to time anyone going through orientation feel free to take over.

    Well guys, I moved to regional for better family time reasons. Currently love running here in the midwest. Got pulled out of region for the last few days to run in the east coast. Got here to tonawanda new you from shrewsbury MA. Here for my 34 hour reset weekend. Gotta love my regional miles though. Can't wait to get in my new truck whenever they wish to upgrade me to a white one.but I love my t600.
