    I can't wait to get out on my own obviously more money but also for diet as well.

    Hey XF, have you ever used a TRX? If so, do you think it would be feasible on the road?

    I have one, but haven't used it much yet.

    Back in my swim coaching days I used to make surgical tubing bands with cut up garden hoses for handles. There would be numerous anchor points on a tank trailer for something like that, on the ladder alone.

    I have never seen a TRX machine. Do you have to anchor it to use it

    It does need an anchor, but it can be a door jam, a pole, a tanker trailer ladder, you name it.

    so training has been going really well...last week we did a little over 3000 miles and this week was about 2300 with one day working local and then a short run to Greensboro,NC. Had to use full PPE two times in last week and pumped off two loads as well. First pump off was about an hour and a half and the second was two hours and thirty minutes. The last pump job was a long day since the guy in front of us had issues with his pump it took him 6 hours to pump off.

    I am off Sat, Sun & Mon will work local Tues and then head out Wed for Missouri. I am scheduled for training in Greer for June 16th.

    Everyone have a safe Memorial Day and remember those who gave us the freedom we have today!
     
    wsyrob and GearWarrant Thank this.

    So I had my first experience breaking down. I was able to make it off the exit to a Petro then waited 8 hours for a wrecker. Times like that is when I wish I was on regular pay.
