    You heard about the legend of Jesse James
    And John Henry just to mention some names
    Well there's a truck driving legend in the south today
    A man called Bandit from Atlanta, GA

    Every gearjammer knows his name
    They swear he got icewater runnin' in his veins
    A foot like lead, and nerves like steel
    He's gonna go to glory ridin' 18 wheels

    He left Atlanta back in '63
    Haulin' him a load up to Tennessee
    He hit Monteagle in the driving rain
    So hard he couldn't even see the passing lane

    Well he started downgrade when he lost a gear
    He hit them brakes; found he had no air
    The Monteagle grade is steep and long
    And everybody that seen it thought the Bandit was gone
    Well his truck jack-knifed; turned completely 'round
    He was coming down backwards 'bout the speed of sound
    A lot of folks seen him and they all say
    He had his head out the window yelling "Clear the way!"

    Well he got to the bottom safe and sound
    Everybody asked Bandit how he made it down
    He said folks when the truck picked up too much speed
    I just run along beside it and drug my feet

    You heard the legend of Jesse James
    And John Henry just to mention some names
    Well there's a truck driving legend in the south today
    A man called Bandit from Atlanta, GA

    Every gearjammer knows his name
    They swear he's got icewater runnin' in his veins
    A foot like lead, and nerves like steel
    He's goin' up to glory ridin' 18 wheels

    Love that song!!!

    I have a question for ORD. Did you have your cdl when you started with prime? The reason i am asking I have a class A permit from AZ and the recruiter at prime said I would have to get a permit in Mo. Not sure what that means, if I would have to take all the test over. thanks for your help.
