    yeah my first drop this morning told me yesterday they had parking at the end of their little road. of course she left out the part about there being a foot of snow on it that no one plowed. i get stuck just fine on my own i dont need any additional help.

    Hey AT, thanks for posting up such a detailed thread! I finally read all the way thru it(only took me like 2 days to finish hahaha) .You have definately swayed me in the direction of W/S. I am hoping to start my CDL school in January(WIA funding FINALLY approved!! :smt041) so hopefully I'll be able to get on with W/S after that. Already filling out an app for them. Hopefully I get a call back soon.

    Thanks again, this thread was a great read & I'll keep checking back in to see how you're doing.

    Drive safe & keep the rubber side down!
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    So today was a MUCH better day I got the 7 stops I had today done and I got 1 of the 2 stops I have for tomorrow done as well. So now in the moring all I need to do is drop these last three pieces off and then I'm 99% sure I'll be deadheading up to conover. I can't do a D&H or load much of anything I have 8 pieces of furniture to bring back with me the customer doesn't want them until next week WTF is that? lol


    And I got to have another good hot meal again tonight this Flying J has a dennys lol



    Hopefully I'll get a good run for the weekend that will put me at or near MT to get some of these things taken care of...:biggrin_255:

    So today was a really good day which is a nice change of pace lol



    I got my first stop off pretty quick, then picked up 2 boxes on my way back to conover. Then I FINALLY got my dolly!!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin_255: yay

    Then I got a 2300 mile run to helena, MT to run over the weekend should be there tuesday (im low on hours might even do a reset lol). But once I get there I'm not leaving until my bunk heater is fixed, I get 2 new matresses, and I need 1 more single chain, and the little tool to tighen the cams on the chains might be nice to obtain one of them as well....lol


    So I made it as far as KY and with this load I'll be able to knock off 2 more states that I havent been to before.....SD and MT.


    I didn't run into any construction, accidents, or bad weather....it must be a full moon or somthing :biggrin_2559:.
