    Lol ya the setup here can be a pain depeding on where they put you and how many trucks are there. They actually started on me fairly quick, I've sat here before for hours. Looks like from here to BRF is where the snows at, south of BRF is clear. Of course fastest way to Texas from here is over to Minneapolis and down into Iowa, but thats now happening with the weather like this. Ill take a little longer route and get down into IL where its in the 40s and 50s and no white stuff falling

    Yeah, with that radar I would be eating the miles and depending on where you need to end up run down 39/55/44 to avoid the snow capades. it doesn't look like Iowa is going to be very friendly for a while.

    LOL, well remember @Steelersjunkie has mentioned many times he knows Millis reads this board, so maybe they saw you mentioned you’ve only been to Texas twice and decided to correct that for you LOL, or maybe they just know you don’t like the white stuff and are trying to keep you where it’s warmer! :cool:

    Day 2 of backing, got them all down for the most part. Still need a pull up or two here and there. Most cones are still alive..
    One thing about being the only student, I get all of the attention. Bad thing is, I get all the attention..

    You may have an issue with your Sunday night shift, getting out at 7 am on a Monday along with the fact you will have been up all night before going to school all day. There is sometimes homework too.

    I do not see an issue with the Friday & Saturday night shifts. Other than you will be wiped out when you get out Saturday morning but you will be able to go home and sleep all day.

    School is generally M-F starting in the morning and ending in the late afternoon early / evening. There will be a couple times at least where the school will start early or end later to get in night driving depending on the hours of daylight when you attend. I doubt it would end late on a Friday night but it is possible.

    When you are paid it is for the previous week worked so there will be a week delay once you are out with your trainer before you receive your 1st paycheck.
