    Ha ya right. Had 3 huge storms last year in mid April 8- 12iinches each
    I think we are running same area. I ran the bangen last night marathon job on 32nd in new town.
    Two nights ago was in Keene. Started raining for about 4 hours then roads froze over then white out for an hour. I was spinning my drives all the way down cr 10 empty. Did two loads on a Conoco job, then parked it

    There's one in Dickinson. $6500 NTI Alaska, next class is in March. No housing included so you'de have ta make arrangements. There's also a place in Fargo which is a school, ( a division if North Dakota State College of Science) they run classes more frequently and also have some coming up soon. You will have to have housing arranged also. I've checked into most all the options in ND. Best bet is to find somebody you know with a truck and trailer. I'm still working on getting mine. Bout ready to just by a truck/trailer, it's frustrating.

    Hello Warhack, so what did you think of Flow"s Diner, can get a few laughs out of it, kind of a break from just talking shop.....
    I'm thinking of maybe starting a thread to replace the one where we met that was closed, don"t know....
