    AS the time goes you should need the trainer less of the time, One thing about trucking, is that it has to move, lesson one. While your driving you should not need the trainer all the time, at first he will need to be up front alot. But as time goes it should evolve into a situation of running like a team, and working on problem areas.

    So, I'm on the road now since yesterday. Ran from IL to TX up to OKC, now headed to Memphis. Picking things up pretty well. Time to try and get some sleep bouncing around in the sleeper.

    Running a lot. From Caseyville to Grand Prairie TX. Then up to OKC and Memphis. Bobtail back to Caseyville. That was Tuesday and Wednesday. Friday we were back to TN, waited over night for our load, then off we go. Headed to Sacramento down to Yuma then over to NJ by the 15th.

    Sounds like some good running. I just made it to Sacremento a few minutes ago myself. You guys stay safe and Hope he is teaching you something.

    Yeah, any time we're anywhere other than open road he's up front giving pointers and such.

    Did you go through Donner Pass? What were the conditions like?

    No I came up from 40 to 58 and up 99. Haven't heard anything about the conditions so they should be good, but that's all subject to change on Donner.

    Just looked at the forecast and doesn't seem like you should have anything to worry about until Wednesday.
