    Day 8

    All HR paperwork complete, direct deposit set up, met some dispatchers and others. Pretty laid back day. Learned Winter Operations, chaining, HAZMAT, just the finishing touches. I did pickup a Sirius Stratus Radio from the shop today for a great price. Can't wait to hit the road.

    It appears we will be getting our truck numbers tomorrow I hope to be headed to my truck this time tomorrow. I would be willing to wait for Lynchmobs truck if it works out that way.

    It was great to meet Warped today met him this morning and we went to Fuddruckers for dinner.

    I think I may start another tread my early days at Watkins Shepard once I hit the road. I hope this has been a helpful thread to provide some incite to the 10 day program. It was great TOP NOTCH training awesome stuff.

    Until Tomorrow.....

    Good Luck Cage. Maybe, just maybe they'll like you enough and make an exception to give you a brand new truck!

    WOW!! CAGE could you imagine that? Brand new truck!, Do they have many of those? I thought that they purchased gently used tractors to get away from paying the "off the lot depreciation" That would be cool. Take Care man, See ya out there, if you make it back to town call me and we will get together, I can find Gilbert OK... LOL Loves in Chandler etc. Thanks. TD.

    I have yet to see a new truck, but that is okay I would rather get a gently used truck and some MPG raises when the time comes. It would be nice if we went over to the Volvo dealer down the street and purchased mine today. :biggrin_255: It does not really matter. The only thing I know is it will be red.
