    I talked to a guy that hauls cars. He keeps one of those aluminum razor scooters that folds up to go and find the cars in those monster factory lots. Then when you find it, just fold it up and put in the car with you. He said he didn't care how silly it looked, it saved a lot of time and wear and tear on his feet.

    Wow, I suck at getting back with you guys. Talked to a recruiter at Mav a couple months ago, and they're not hiring in my area right now.

    Anyway, looks like it's gonna be a little while longer before I hit the road. Have to get some finance issues worked out before I can feel comfy with the anticipated pay cut. Hopefully within a year or so I'll be out there on the highways with the rest of y'all.

    I just started looking at McElroy. I'll probably give them a call once I get driving school lined-up.
