My journey with Swift begins tomorrow!

Thanks for posting your journey, the highs and the lows, I am going to be going to the academy in TN in Oct, and look forward to finally becoming a trucker, a dream I have had since I was a kid.

 

Super, Kusangi. How many days since you started? Did you do it without a sometime break? If so, did it get you any benefit?

 

I start on September the 12th and can hardly wait to get started on a career

 

Hey, just to let y'all know ... true sweet tea is a lightly sweetened tea with just enough sugar to eliminate the bitterness of unsweetened tea. Some places think that tea brewed in sugar syrup is sweet tea (McDonalds). Had one of the best in New Orleans at a blues bar (can't remember the name ... guess why ... LOL) before the party started. A slight twist of lemon and a sprig of mint make it all the better ... just my two cents as a true southern Sweet Tea fan.

 

In North Carolina, "sweet tea" was the term used to differentiate tea made with sugar in it from "unsweet tea" which was made without sugar.

In my experience, there was a very wide range of "sweet" tea, ranging from 'sweet' that was just a notch above unsweetened tea to the tooth-disolving, diabetes-inducing, jaw-gripping, 5-pounds-per jug tea that Kusangi probably had. One shot of that was enough to convince me never to order sweet tea again because I had no idea what I was going to get. I would rather put my own sugar in, if the tea needed it.

 

As far as mcdonalds sweet tea is concerned, I use at most 1/4 of the cup with thier sweet tea then fill it the rest of the way with unsweetened tea. Maybe try that next time. More on topic, I am set up for orientation in phx on 9/12 then fb training after. If your around phx then let me know kusanagi, I'd love to meet ya and maybe have lunch at the Jake.
