    Big wheels i hope the new trainer is better for you.Sucks that you have to start all over but it will be worth it.Covenant is not so bad like i said before.No matter what anyone Say's if i had it to do over i would still work for them.I just need better pay and it is out there now that i have my year so i gotta go.That makes me nervous and excited at the same time hard to leave the devil you know for one you do not.I am sure it will work out for both of us good luck and remember rubber side down.

    I got my new trainer and so far its a 100% better than my first. Been driving a new 09 frightliner its drives like a caddy. Afgter drive the last trainer truck anythang would drive like a caddy. This trainer likes to keep it clean, Will stop to use the toilet. And has no problem with stopping some where else then subway. He is kind of seeing what I know, He hasnt said awhole lot about my driving. He has helped me with backing a few times. I even turned on a turnpike with no exit( trap). He had no problem paying the toll. I told him i would pay it back. Not worry a bout it it happens.he said. I been on the truck date 01/05/10 to 01/11/10 to day. Been to miss to tx to az to il to ca. Now waiting to pick time a few hour lay over. I will stay in touch as much as i can. I got to find free internet. Got to go leaving for miss.

    Glad to know you are ok Big Wheels :biggrin_25519: and doing better with your new trainer.

    Last week there were two bad accidents with Cov. (one roll over and one jacknife) and this week another roll over... They said the driver was using cruiser control and hit a surprise patch of black ice. The drivers were hurt. :biggrin_25513:

    Ive talked to afew drivers and they all didnt have a whole lotn to say about it. Its posted a few post ago from $.08 t0 $.15 a mile.

    But as a trainee, There is no perdiium. So right now I dont know. But alot
    of thang I read on hear sound like its not so good.

    I'll ask a few more about it and let you know as soon as i can. OK.

    I know what your saying. I had to start some where. I didnt have alot for stuff poping around me.

    Its not that bad. Its a start. As i hear you can make more money some where else. But where are these places that will hire youj and me. I've looked and I came up empty.

    Will at least I'm making more money then on unemployment. Im paying the bills. There food on the table for my family. Thats all i can ask for right now. I still have dreams. Will have to wait to see if they come true.

    Hang in there. Go ahead call them. Ask them all the questions you need to know. They will answer them. Try it. I did and im driving a truck. Which I still can't believe im able to do it.

    Let me know whats up. see youj later
