    You deserve an award for finding parking at that place. It's always been a cluster whenever we've been there. :biggrin_25514:

    Yup, they do orientation at the Markham, IL terminal every Monday and Wednesday. The guy who does orientation helped us get back on with the company. He's always telling me he has no one to do road test so what better way to pay him back. Was able to convince my wife to do it too. I thought they would pay us $30/per driver but it turned out only $10. More important than money.....it's good networking.

    Wish we were. Wife and I was thinking about getting a new tv. :biggrin_25523:

    Here is another one for you. True story. One of the guys I road tested today asked me while I'm conducting the road test if we could stop somewhere to pick up a pack of Newport cigarettes.:smt102 :smt102 :smt102

    My feet just hit the floor. I was to give out to post last nite or this morning actually when I laid down. Pine Bluff for the next few, then it's over to the ADC, to load fats for Missouri dept of corrections. Funny how state prisons trade commodities with each other to get by. I guess it does save the tax payers a little dough.

    Rocks welcome home, glad you had a safe journey.

    Well good news is truck should be done today. Bad news is that I spoke to soon about the problem. Turns out I thought they said it was the rear main was the problem. Turns out he just thought that's what it was. Turns out it was fine.

    Instead it appears it may be time to do an inframe. Was told that I should be good to go to run it a couple months here till I'm ready to get the work done to coincide with my vacation this summer....so I think that's what I'll do

    Glad I have my rainy day fund.

    Killing time in Nashville, AR. I lost my mind and accepted a Tyson load, so we'll see how that works out tonight. Plenty of groceries on board, so I'm prepared LOL.

    I also got a random Level 2 at the Queen City, TX scale on US-59 on the way up here. No violations found.
