    Not that I know of. Only terminal in TN is Memphis from what I have seen. It is actually Olive Branch, MS but most guys call it Memphis anyway.

    Getting a load in VA with 2 drops in OH tomorrow. Almost 800 miles. This month started off slow but it seems they are trying to make up for it now. This one is pretty tight. The 45 minute delay just to get into a pump this morning didn't help. Only had 5 pumps working and all of them were stacked up.

    Going to CT next. Got a call from Columbus asking me to take another student. Not sure if I want to. It is just so boring sitting in the passenger seat.

    I was going to say, if you're a non smoker and it was from Indy, it'd be for me lol I leave for my 4 weeks with a trainer tomorrow from the Indy terminal at noon. I got everything set. Only bringing one bag and bedding stuff. But its been two weeks since I've been in a truck. I'll get the rust worked out real quick.

    Maybe it was. She said it was guy that did the training in Indianapolis. I do smoke but not in the truck. Small world if she was really referring to you.

    Haha that would be! Did you accept the trainee or turn it down? I have been waiting for 2 weeks. I just got a call today around 3:30, saying to be at the terminal at noon, and that my trainer will be there. Not sure if that means at noon or later.

    I called them back to say yes but they had already found another trainer. I am due off July 9th and they didn't to move the guy around to different trainers.

    Dang, that would've been pretty cool to get you as a trainer. That may also tell me that I can expect to be out for 4 weeks straight. If I was the person they where talking about. It'll still be a positive experience, and I'm sure I'll catch ya around sometime.

    It gets kind of amusing with me, Currently I have no trainee on my truck and I guess non smoking trainers must be at a premium. Keep getting calls from other terminals to take there trainee's but have to keep turning them down. The route im on now all I do is run back and forth from one or two customers, I'm back home every 2 1/4th days and normally off for 1 to 2 days (Normally load the next load but has a extra day on it) so unless the guy lives in or around my area he spends alot of down time on the truck it self. =\

    When I do get one tho its alot of fun, We find ways to entertain our self's on the 12 hour drive to drop and the 14 hour drive back. =P Constant hometime for the trainee and my self is also a nice incentive as we both get to be home so the trip changes to 2 days out 2 days off.
