    You're next thread...needs to start out with a PICTURE of you with your (new to you) truck....try to be under a tree...all that white will cause glare!

    Now if it is one that shows you are PRE-TRIPPING the truck...i.e. your feet sticking out from under the engine compartment...like when the house fell on the Wicked Witch of the East...(how apropos)...could be a classic picture!:biggrin_25525:

    .....I guess I still have a problem "submitting"!:biggrin_25513:

    Ok, the day went better than I had expected. Passed all tests without a hiccup. Nothing too tough. I'll meet with my new Driver Manager in the morning and then, I guess, I go to see whoever the truckassigningperson is. I'm guessing that I'll get a dispatch to somewhere near home or possibly back to back preplans that'll get me close enough. We'll see what tommorrow brings. I feel relieved to have the testing out over with even though it was not difficult. I got to do my driving/backing test with a classmate from the academy who just happened to be in Memphis. He described his experience with his mentor and I began to be more grateful for the mentor I had.

    Thanks to all!

    Sonny.......don't take this personal but I really dislike all you Swifties that get an easy test out. Frankly I think everyone should have to test out with the guy I got in Denver. *glares at you*


    And Redd called me once......I was in the middle of a big family dinner and didn't answer it. He's never called me again. *sniffs*
