    Kinda sounds like a mix of Motorhead, Accept (singer's voice) and Loudness (if you are familiar with them). Maybe a little Slayer in there as well. There was definitely a time when I would have loved this band :) I may have to start digging deep in my old favorites, kinda craving it now.

    Well, before you dismiss them entirely, look at their newer stuff like the Destroyer of Worlds, Blood on Ice, or Twilight of the Gods albums. Those might be more to your liking. This one is from 1987.

    I assure you, I am absolutely NOT dismissing them. I have just let myself become a little more mellow over the years. I need to dive back in or I'm gonna get soft.

    @MACK E-6 I heard a song on satellite that I haven't heard in forever. White Witch from Savatage. Hall Of The Mountain King was a great record. I miss that album. It blows my mind that this band became the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. So if anyone was ever wondering where TSO came from, there ya go. Enjoy the Christmas music I guess, this is the same band believe it or not.

    I can't make this #### up...so Greg called me Tuesday after I kicked that last student off my truck. Wanted to know if I'd take a guy for a couple weeks who lives 40mins from me, because he had an accident and Dan wanted him to go back out with a trainer for week or 2(he's been in his own truck since Feb)...

    I tell Greg ok thats fine I'll take him till go on vaca. I call the guy and introduce myself tell him we are leaving from my house Friday 0300 to head to LaCrosse. He says ok no problem I'll be there. 0255 I get a text saying "hey my alarm didnt go off, I'll be there at 0400".... any guesses as to what my reply was back??

    I told him dont bother, I'm leaving at 0300 like I said and i guess you'll have to hop on on Sunday now....

    Seriously this is the #### I'm talking about when I say I'm going to evaluate some things. No sense of urgency, no motivation, and no fn respect. Guy tells Dan he will do anything he wants him to if it means he can keep his job.......

    Simple mistake, but you'd be #### sure I'd probably wouldn't be able to sleep anywhere close to that 3:00 time if I had an important time to make. If I have something to do the next morning or whatever, I struggle to stay asleep until my alarm (always worried it will sabotage me).

    I'm champing at the bit a little right now. I'm signed up for the August 5 class in Richfield, so I want to get my stuff done and ready, but I'm also trying to figure out what kind of things to do this next month with my wife before she returns to China. I feel busy and at the same time really not at all, but feel really guilty if I'm not getting something DONE, haha.

    What sort of things should I start getting together (things to bring on the truck). I'm sure most of these things will be more for when I'm solo and not to clutter up the trainer's truck. Shoe recommendations?

    So I’ve only been driving now for about 8 months total. In that time I have a list of trucking company drivers that I can’t stand for various reasons. Slowly lol working their way up that list is other Millis drivers.
