    That's awesome. Which states do you guys run to from Mt. Sterling. At Cambridge they tell me we run to IL, MI, OH, WV, TN, and KY. I hope to run to other states tho. Wouldnt mind going out west to Cali for a week or down to the Carolina's or Florida. Hopefully they have that option available. But with the DCs in those areas I doubt it.

    I'm starting my two weeks of in-house training tomorrow morning. It'll be interesting to see how the Truck driving orientation defers from the warehouse side. I kind of anticipating the first day not having much to do, because I'm coming from the warehouse and all of my paperwork is already on file.

    Left out Sunday, rolled back home Thursday am. Week 3 of driver road training complete. Have been south for two weeks and north for this last week. Rolled to IL, MI, WI for two deliveries and a back haul home today. Enjoying the journey at DOT FOODS. I made a great decision going with DOT. Off for the weekend, head out Sunday to places unknown as of now. Safe miles to all!

    Out Sunday 9/4 West to Loveland,CO, Aurora,CO, & a back haul from Platteville,CO to Morris,IL. Weeks 4 of driver training with my trainer, been a great 4 weeks. Getting a new trainer for week 5, may get 6 weeks of training before going solo. My current trainer has scheduled time off, so a different trainer is necessary. Enjoying my new job @ DOT FOODS. There is no perfect job or company but so far I'm very pleased with DOT. Safe miles everyone!
