    Thanks Don.

    Well guys bad news: My neighbor informed me our good friend, aka other neighbor, is in the ER. Shes 76 and broke out her will. When I got a job she let her driver, my neighbor aka best friend, drive me. When I quit, she insisted on helping me out though I refused. Please pray for her.

    Fewe,

    PM me your number please and if trucker dragon and Spacecoast is reading this, please forward your numbers to me as well. I WILL NOT have internet out there therefore I need numbers. I know for a fact my good bud Injun will update you or my parents will.

    SC,

    You can come over and have a grand tour of Faith. This is what I will name her in memory of my mother and faith is my firm belief and I live on it everyday.

    KH

    This is #### good advice no matter who you are, who you drive for or where you run.

    How many times have we heard the story that a driver has been missing for a week now and nobody has a clue where hes at.
    Eventually hes found at some desolate rest area, in a canyon some where etc.

    hey kh when i went through orientation a couple of weeks ago. There was some drivers that had experience but just not recent and they only did a 50 to 100 hours of training, maybe they will let you do that too. good luck out there:biggrin_25514:

    Brick,

    My dad has me on low jack or big brother. If I do not call him in a couple days, he knows somethings wrong. I do agree it is a good idea and I'm glad I have a good relationship with my parents.

    I didn't mean it HAD TO BE a parent, some one close to you works too.

    When I was solo my wife and I talked several times a day. She always knew what state and town I was in and what my expected load destination was and when.

    That just makes sense, whether you have Qualcom or not. Your loved ones are likely to be more on top of you not showing up than your company is.

    KH: when I went looking for that doc yesterday, he wasn't there. I'll do a little research on that, but I don't believe it will be an issue.
