    After driving this truck for two days, it's interesting to see the differences between unaltered factory programming vs what companies can do to them. It's incredibly fascinating. I knew that there were lots of ways to tinker with settings, but I was completely oblivious to how much of a difference can truly be made. It's nuts. This truck and my last truck are only related by name. That's all they have in common. I'm glad this didn't happen earlier, it would've been frightening to drive this truck for the first time in snowy weather. I guess everything happens for a reason, the universe was looking out for me. I miss y'all, hope all of you are doing well out there in Millis Land. My offer still stands, feel free to contact me anytime. Even if you're just trying to kill some miles :)

    Fyi. Just so you guys know. There are truck stops out there that will install signal blockers that prevent you from using your own phone and WIFI. The FCC probably outta do something about that, but you know they won't. I am 1 mile away from where my truck is parked, and my signal is perfect. 4 bars of 4g. I always hated Love's, always will.

    I've come to realize one true thing. Once I make it back home, I'm never leaving. I'll never come back to the south again unless I'm in handcuffs and on my way to prison. F this place.

    Training hours question... Millis requires 15,000 hours on the road with a trainer before a new driver is on his, or her, own. Just how long does that take exactly? I know it must vary, but what's the average number of days it take to satisfy this 15k miles requirement?

    Also, what types of runs could I expect being a new driver? I'll be based in northern Kentucky, so the closest Millis terminal would be Trenton, OH.

    Thanks in advance.
