    I like the tarp idea, it would make it look like a curtainside... I think vans is going to be temporary. I will probably go back to flats in the spring, or curtain if they would let me train again on that fleet. I understand that curtainside training isn't quite flatbed, and it isn't quite van... I will pull the big white thing around for a few months to get back in the swing of things, and then go from there... I do like the new truck, got a cascadia, and they have made alot of positive changes... Just having doors on the cabinets is a big improvement, I could go on forever... The van work has not been bad, did 2900 miles the first week, so now we will see how week two goes. Go back for my reftesher course for training in November, and then I will be taking students again. It will be easier in this truck just because there is more storage space...

    Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for you skateboarders. I'm semi-retired and have poor circulation in my legs, so I know its just more work than I want...LOL!
