    The tanker guys have a pretty similar schedule as the van guys as far as I know. Originally I was going on the tanker side as a company driver but decided to take the plunge as an IC.

    Oh yeah. Attitude goes a long way. The big key is open and honest communication with the dbl. I called mine yesterday to introduce myself to him and let him know things like I like to run hard. So I am really interested to see how it all works out.

    My son is in College now, the first 8 years of marriage I was in the Army, so this for the last 11+ years the time apart is nothing new. I do like the ability to have the wife go with me though. I never had that chance previously pulling tanks.
