I lost weight in school too. Left school at 176#. I gained it back while out with my trainer, 192#. Now I'm on my own and eat better, slowly loosing a few #. Need to exersize more thow. I bought a dumbell to use while driving. If I feel I'm getting tired, I do 50 reps on each arm, seems to get the blood flowing again.

ipogsd : Great idea ,, lifting weights always gets the Blood flowing and the eyes wide open ,,, will have to remember that ! .. I too for some Reason add and loose 10 pounds ,, just depends on how busy i am ,, but that seams to hold pretty good,, i just need to drop about 10 # more and i think i will be good there ..

Ok ,, so i just talk to a Earl Henderson Recruiter ,, she said ,,,,,,,,,,, 14.5 cents a mile for the first 4 weeks and .15 cents a mile for the next 4 weeks and 15.5 for the last 4 weeks ,, while i am with a trainer ,, and the training is 12 weeks !! ugh ... sounds kinda Cr88py to me .. any Thoughts ?? 12 weeks is a long time i think,, i hear 6-8 weeks for almost any other company ...

chompi : Great to hear from you !! I value your Information and outlook on trucking very much ,, i was just sitting here thinking the same thing actually , even though it seams long and under paid i do think it would be worth it to learn all i can and come out a better driver and more sure of my self and make getting off on my own a little easier after its all said and done ,, and yes,, from what i can find and read on Earl Henderson they seam to be on the upper end of the scale as far as pay, how they treat employees ,, Long term is my M . O . i do not like to jump around from company to company so this may just work out we will see and i will keep updating and asking more question
thanks chompi
