    I agree, amigo.
    And I see "so far" continuing as far as I can see.
    It started out good, and got better with the addition of Chris, ....... then better yet when you joined in.

    I think this thread should, at some point in the near future, end and be locked. The last post should direct readers to the spin-off threads penned by Chris and ORG as their separate adventures continue with different companies.
    Call this thread Chapter One.
     
    Wedge, Kwaione and Saddle Tramp Thank this.

    Yeah, but in these two books the characters got a whole chapter in. Most have a introduction and a couple pages.... no chapter tho... except for the filing chapter 13....:biggrin_2556:

    It is easy to get behind buddy.

    No argument on my part ORG. I sure am sorry if it seems that way and I had anything to with that. I was simply questioning (as a newbie) the notion that a company would claim they hired you when in fact they didn't, and then claim they fired you and put it on a driver's DAC. I "think", and lord knows I'm no lawyer, that would open them up for some possible legal repercussions.

    I will say however, that I feel I was in no way not being civil with my comments.

    My apologies if I inadvertently stepped on any toes. :biggrin_25514:

    Thank you for your kind words.

    I agree completely. It would be difficult to generate a contiguous flow to the thread with Chris and ORG heading in two different directions. Once they begin their training, prospective student drivers will be interested in not only reading about their progress, but also what advice other drivers and contributors are offering.

    You could write the last post directing all followers to the respective threads prior to locking it down.

    Somewhere in one of my previous posts here, I had the thought of putting a link to each other's thread in our signatures.

    Thoughts, comments, wise remarks?

    EDIT: Yep, here it was. I'm not sure what you guys mean by "locking it down" (although it sounds pretty self explanitory) But if you do, perhaps you can put the links to our threads in here and we can then link to each others. I feel that ORG and I will keep in close contact in the coming months/years and it will be fun to keep this going.

    AfterShock mentioned a few posts back about locking down this thread and having either you or ORG write the final post directing all to your new respective threads.

    Sounds like a good idea!

    Well...ultimately that decision lies with ORG as this is his thread.

    I've decided to start one under the DAC section for W/S. I haven't decide what to call it or exactly when to start it. Although I'm thinking perhaps today and maybe something like..."Running With Watkins & Shepard"

    I think the emotions I'm feeling now, and have been since I got the word, would be a good start to it.

    Save me the trouble of looking for the post. When do you begin your training at W/S?

    A 10 day Orientation and then into my own truck as a solo. Assuming I get through it that is.....:biggrin_2556:

    Not lazy... the squeaking I make when I move drives me insane.:biggrin_2559:
    I've become familiar with the W/S orientation by following CAGEtrucker. There's not a lot of wiggle room in the program, so make sure you concentrate, and if you don't understand something, ask.

    Seems to me like you'll do fine.
