    everyones first trip sucks apparently. mine wasnt too bad, half the trouble was caused by me being a #######, mainly because i only had an atlas and no local maps thinking i would wing it. apparently knowing where you are going helps in this industry, who knew! just stay calm dont get stressed, and have that red book taped to your face and its not bad.

    The record for the fastest NASCAR lap speed at Daytona and Talladega is held by a FORD. Go Bill Elliott!

    We watched the rest of the videos and did our benefits stuff. We also did our winter driving/Chaining class. And we got to play around with the quail-comm too it was much easier then I thought it would be. We have a little more stuff to do tomorrow morning, I think tim said we'll be done by 2 or 3.

    Then at the end of the day I found out that I will be getting my truck from right here in Conover, NC tomorrow! thats the good news haha. The bad news I have to take 2 other guys with me 2100 Miles to SLC Utah lol. It'll be an "experience" I'll leave it at that haha.

    I don't know what kind of truck I got yet, all I now is it is Red lol.


    Tim jumped my pickup and its running just fine like nothing happened, I donno,I don't even care whats wrong with it now I'm SOOOO freakin excited that I'm finally here, I got my First OTR Job and I start driving Tomorrow. Woo Hoo :biggrin_255:!!!!!!!!!!!
