    I was out for 5 weeks, then routed back to the terminal for a drivers test (backing, etc.) After that it was 4 more weeks with the trainer.

    Good Luck, Always keep enough money on you to get back home. I was taugh by my Dad back in 76. We ran from Los Angeles to Salinas to load, then back to Hunts Point Market NY. I think the round back then took about 10 days to 2 weeks. Long Long Ago in a Land that seems far far away. Long Nose KW w/ a breadbox sleeper. 5 X4 behind a 275hp Pop corn popper, for Little Audrey's out of Santa Fe Springs, CA. That was Truckin, Got to tell you the new ones, way better.
