    Hello again everyone!
    Well, I just finished my first 35 days with my trainer and I gotta tell ya, it was great! My trainer was almost 20 years younger than myself but it didn't mattter. He was a great trainer, has 2 years experience, the youngest trainer in the company and a hell of a nice guy.
    I had an absolute blast out there! Hell, just 3 days ago, I drove through Queens, da Bronx and into the heart of Brooklyn with a fulll load and it wasn't as scary as I had heard. I went from east coast to west coast 3 times. I logged nearly 10,000 miles in 5 weeks!
    I'm back home at the moment which is awesome as well. I'll be back in Dallas next wednsday for the start of Orientation2.
    My experience was a great! My trainer was great! The driving was great! what other job out there pays you to travel? To see the country? I saw things that I would never had seen sitting in a cubicle I can tell you that.
    Bottom line, if you're deciding on who to go with, ask me and I'll tell you Stevens Transport.
    Can't wait to go solo!!!
