    So far so good. My trainer is a nice guy. He's laid back and makes learning easy. So far I've been to TN, WV, OH, and now back to NC.

    Cut to the chase. Are you allowed to do 70mph and idle all night with the running lights on? lol

    Joking... There is a McElroy truck parked right next to me. Red International 9200i.

    In my two weeks here we have averaged about 2000/week. The trucks will only run 62 MPH.

    My first two weeks are over and we're heading out in the morning (yep that would be Easter). So far I really like it. I have only had to tarp two loads so far. Everything else was either pretarped or did not have to be tarped.

    My trainer is a good guy guy. His only flaw is he is a heavy smoker and I don't smoke. We have been all over NC, SC, WV, and northeast TN. We are headed to upstate NY in the morning.

    Third week of training is over. This week we ran over 3000 miles. Everything is going good. If all continues well I'll be heading to Cuba AL next weekend for my final week of training.
