    So, which voice in our heads should we listen to?
    Please be more specific. At times there are so many there, it gets really confusing.
    Your help will be welcomed with open arms. LOL. /s

    In other words don’t cut corners, even if everyone else is doing it.

    If I knew that I wouldn't have gotten that free vacation in that big building in the country. ;-)

    Ok I wasn't sure if I wanted to do tanker, flat bed or dry van, and I know I need experience in all 3 to see which I prefer, but I wouldn't mind tanker or flat bed

    I've done flatbed, and currently do dry van and reefer. Contrary to what the others say, reefer and dry van customers aren't any different than flatbed customers. I think how customers treat you is based on your attitude going in. Many truckers have some sense of entitlement. They think they are supposed to be on this high pedestal because they are out here away from home and yadda yadda. That's suppose to automatically equal respect right? Hmmm. You get what you give in this industry. The right attitude, regardless of sector, will take you the farthest. People hate the reefer customers, but they don't bother me. Of all sectors of trucking, I like reefer the best. The reefer helps me get good sleep. It's pretty steady freight, you can haul pretty much anything, and I love the night driving. That's only me though. Flatbed is good to start because if you learn to back a spread axle trailer, you can back any trailer. You'll get a good workout daily with the strapping and tarpimg too. I liked it when I did it.

    I am a major fan of wine, and I see you chose the red wine, which I prefer over the white. When I get home, it'll be the wine and wife first, then beer and the mistress next.

    I started buying box wine at Sam's Club. A box has a bladder inside that holds about 3 quarts Cost $14.00
    The box has a push button spout & you fill you glass with that.
