    Good luck TDT, American Universities can be real bastages when it comes to accreditation. We have Chinerzs, India and BS degree mills to thanks for that. I would be making an educated guess that out of a typical undergrad program of 120 credits. 60 may transfer for her. That may be generous so be prepared.

    Hot female musicians you say? A "woman" that can cook is music to my ears! I'm glad i don't have money to travel and fall in love. I might have dated a man?


    Otherwise these ladies are highly entertaining and that babe on harmonica made me fall in love all over again!

    The smart ones are my weakness; strong attraction for me & looks come second. Smart & good looking is perfect.

    @Truckingdaytrader --

    The above was meant to be just ONE EXAMPLE.....& not "pure gospel"....all of the time.

    Another example:

    read post #860 (page 86), & posts #883, #888 & #890 (on page 89)......in the following thread:

    Waiting on New Trucks thread. | Page 86 | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board (thetruckersreport.com)

    This is hazmat tanker duty.....but as a rookie, I would recommend that you start out with food-grade, FIRST (per the earlier post).

    Sic 'em, Rover.....;)

    Please don't take this the wrong way but I just have to say it.

    Be careful you don't end up in an industry working 80 hours a week making peanuts to pay off your schooling and then you work 80 hours a week to pay off your wife's schooling and next thing you know she finds another MBA and you're out in the cold.

    Not saying that's going to happen and I don't know your background but you wouldn't be the first guy.

    And it isn't just about the educational thing, It's just sometimes one person puts out a lot for another person and I get it you have to trust the other person but..

    It's always much better if two people work towards a goal than one. And she may be working toward it also I don't know but...I just had to say it.

    Don't worry about me... Not looking for life advise. Just answers to my questions.
    But here is some for you... NEVER give unsolicited advise.You're not Yoda! And when you start a comment with "don't take this the wrong way" you do that because you know the person will.... I Just had to say it!

    Everyone complains. It's human nature. The key is the subject of the complaints.
    Also, how long the complainer has been working for the company.

    I had a conversation this summer with a driver that had been with the company 17 years. All he did was bit@h. He's not looking for another job, though. He's staying right where he is.

    I found myself complaining the other day, something very minor. Figured if that's all I had to complain about then I have it pretty good. I really do, come to think of it.
