    What does magnum pay with 9 years experience? Their site doesn't give those details-and whats the cost of the family insurance per week?

    Good God! .. I barely have time to vacumn the Beast! hehehe .. and on home time all I do is deal with my financial train wreck of a life .. sheesh, be happy when I get that resolved .. :biggrin_2551:

    Glad you're having fun out there .. I'm doing great as well .. even picked up my dog Sasha from my sister yesterday so she's ridin' the highways now too. Seems to be handling it well .. she just really loves being with me .. a really great dog! Here's the little nut! Lab/Border Collie Mix we think, and my Big Rig, Kenworth T600 .. I love it ... Tinman!

    Nor do they provide us with that information...... you would need to pick up the phone and ask.

    They base your pay on experience and obviously I am not a 9 year vet hehehehehe

    Yea .. 22120. I'm running a lot of SE these days. Been through Durham twice this week .. to ATL 3 times .. VA, Memphis, Nashville, etc..

    Sasha can now climb into the truck unassisted .. did it on her own too .. just jumped up and climbed the steps like we do, but w/o the grab rail ... awesome. I think she would jump down too if I let her but I'm afraid that could injur her feet .. pretty big jump onto concrete.

    I keep finding good rest areas/truck stops with room for her to run. I'll start getting pics to show what's out there for the dogs. Of course she is well minded and I can let her run loose in the fields .. not in the parking lots though, of course.

    Later,

    Tinman!

    Scooter,

    Great thread! One of these days, I'll have regular internet access and the ability to post more often. Until then, I'll trust you to keep advising those that are interested about Magnum and some of the crazy drivers you've met there... like me :)

    heheheh tried to get "the REAL ScooterDawg" to do that and she turned around and looked at me like... "You're kidding, right?"

    So I had to pick her lazy ##### up and put her in there (90 lbs). Then she didnt want to get out and I had to literally drag her back out.

    Suggestions welcome.....

    If they knew all of the nicknames we have come up with for each other.... hhehehehehehehe

    Hey, I met Bonnie and her trainee today. Man, what a story I have for you!!!! How I met them was just shy of hilarious! I enjoyed both of them though. Both super-nice people!

    Bonnie is a hoot!

    Maybe she really didn't like the truck... The smallness of the tractor and height is intimidating to some animals. Did you start the truck?
    Just keep trying with her and see if she changes her mind. After all she is female and changing her mind is a female option, isn't it? Hahahaha :biggrin_25525:

    Also, I'd think it'd be harder for a dog to jump into a 387 than a t6. The wide body of the 387 means it's gotta be made in one jump, where as the t6 gives the dog a little bit of a step.
