Journey Of A Thousand Roads

I'm going to assume that he meant that's the way others perceive truckers. It wasn't his opinion of them.

I reserve that "lowest rung of the evolutionary ladder for mobile home movers and roofers"!

 

Thanks McBjork, you are correct. I have gotten soft sitting on my ### for 20 years. Prior to that I worked in construction so it's not like hard work is not in my nature, it's just been a while. I keep trying to picture myself tarping a load in the cold and heat, rain and snow.... it sends shivers down my spine!!! I figure in a year or so I'll be as 'BUFF' as those guys I see at the truck stop

 

I have to agree with you there!

 

Howdy folks,

It's been a busy week. Trying to get studying done, DOT physical and pack up most of the apt so I won't have to worry about too much when I get back from training.

I went to my Dr's today and get my DOT long form filled out. He couldn't do the eye exam so I ran over to my eye dr and she filled that section out for me.

I do have a question for the group; What is this DOT Card they speak of? I read somewhere that you can shrink the last page of the DOT form down and put it on a card??? That seems an odd way to do it. Is there a group that issues a permanent card of some type???

I stopped by my local T/A yesterday and picked up the 2012 Rand McNally atlas. I sprung for the laminated version. I figured I might be wearing that thing out.

Still on schedule to head to Springmo for next Tuesday. I'm going to drive so I may leave Sunday, drive most of the way, crash, then finish up the drive on Monday and get settled in there. I'm getting anxious about it now!
