    Well I came back out on the road this weekend. In the last half of training we're in what my trainer called super solo. Guess we may end up running a few loads as a team. Hoping to be in Lincoln at the end of the month for orientation and tractor assignment. Gonna be a good few weeks I think.

    Well I guess the last few weeks of my training will be on a reefer walmart run. Should be interesting. We got a 1700 mile run to cali today.

    Well the time is near to get my own truck. Not this coming weekend, but the next I should be heading back to Lincoln for orientation. We have been running pretty hard the last couple weeks, but its been good to get me used to driving a lot. I may take a couple pics when I get the truck, we shall see.

    Good Luck Jeeper. I remember how gladI was to be completing my training and getting my own truck. Now it's been over 2 1/2 years. How time flies. It will be exciting plus a little uneasy when you leave on your first solo trip, but I'm sure you will do fine. Keep us informed:biggrin_25525:

    Sounds like that classic scene from Vacation with Chevy Chase once they get to the Grand Canyon. A quick look, a shrug and "ok kids let's go."

    Yep that sounds about right, only I hadn't recently robbed a hotel cash register.

    Well as of this coming Friday I will be done with training. We are hoping to get me to Lincoln by Sunday or Monday. One more road test, 2 day orientation, my own truck. I can't wait.

    Alrighty, got to the hotel in Lincoln this morning. Since orientation isn't until Tuesday, I have ome time to relax and reset my 70 for my first week alone. At this point I'm not sure where I will end up getting my truck, but either way I should have one soon and on my way home eventually.
