    I've found out that in life 'all' experience is beneficial, and it sounds like you have moved on with a good attitude.

    God's best with your new 'adventure.'

    Good luck with Boise yard if it is the same 'postage stamp' size as when I was there about 5 yrs ago. Got there on a Sunday morn, nobody around, had to drop a trailer and p/u one which was 'buried 2 deep..had to move a couple w/o much room to navigate--my 1st & only trip there!!

    Yeah I remember that yard. They have a new one that's got room for about 40 trailers and a good amount of bobtail parking too now. Dirt lot with some concrete landing gear strips and portable buildings. It served my purpose, I was in and out in 15 minutes. Glad I never trust other drivers, the load I grabbed off the yard was 2k over on the tandems, little sliding and everything was okay though.

    Setting in Caldwell, ID at the Flying J, headed to Pasco, WA as soon as my 10 is up.

    Yeah, unless there is a copy of a weigh tkt, I always weighed loads over 38K lbs (unless I saw them loaded and knew the distribution of weight...some 'new' fork drivers misload and put all the weight fwd or in the rear of the trailer!))...think didnt weigh heavy loads just 2 times only (as scales were way out of my way) in 10 yrs, and since I 'knew' the DOT scales that I would be crossing and their 'Open' times. Didnt get an over-weight tkt in my 10 years!

    Well I am a future Knight driver...Starting 8/20/12 from Fontana, CA. Two day orientation, a few weeks with a trainer then out on my own. Not sure yet if I'll run OTR or regional yet, done both before with different companies. Here comes winter...
