    Nothing like the sheen of a couple of years of bug guts on a flatbedder's tractor eh?

    :biggrin_2559:

    A tip for the inexperienced... If you time your appearance at the truckwash appropriately, you'll wait about as long as it takes to guide you in.

    It rained hard yestarday... :D does that count?

    Ill keep that in mind. I just usually dont have time between loads to get it washed. Not getting it washed while loaded. Cant take the chance of them damaging the load.

    So it is time i return to my thread. I picked up my new trainee the day before Easter. he has been awesome until today. today he decided to follow the QC then the GPS which meant he missed the sign that said "RECEIVING" WHICH WAS OBVIOUS to which i can only say to all the new drivers is the sign you miss is the one that will bite you in the butt. lieteraly i thought he was ready to upgrade and he will pass the test but dang i worry for him. i hope he just woke up stupid.

    Nice to see you again, Gator! (That is one of the reasons I fight JCW on getting a GPS.) I KNOW that he wants the birdseye view, but seriously, he needs to look for the signs instead of at some screen. I've re-routed him several times because he either read the directions wrong, or just plain got lost. Maybe just the laptop (soonish).

    Wow I love reading and posting here but I just have so little time lately. I just realized that in about 10 days it will mark the one year point of when I started this PRIME experience. I would like to mention that I would do it all over again and would not change much if anything. I have had the opportunity to talk with hundreds of drivers and have come to one solid conclusion. I made a good choice at Prime. I hope to be more active on the boards soon. I gained so much when I was just starting out and would love to give back. I just need to find the time and the inet.
