    Just switched to a Cascadia from a Volvo. Man..... It's like learning how to downshift all over again! Made it to L.A., though......

    So, why the change in trucks did you get a new trainer?

    They committed the first one after me! :biggrin_2551:LOL.

    Actually, a vacation came up & and opportune time to make a switch to finish with another occured. Great chance to gain experience with a different truck & another point of view.

    Sitting in Carthage, TX waiting on Tyson to finish loading. Hopefully some time before the end of year! This one's really taking forever. Oh well, gotta go with the flow. Going to happen sometimes.

    Heading back to CA.

    Took shipper 28hrs to have our load ready, but worked out alright since it took 2 days for trainer & I to begin to feel better from bad, bad major chain food stop earlier. Hit us both terribly hard. Someone needs to get their safe food handling practices together.Made it to Allentown with no weather probs & dropped. Waiting on new load for run South.
