    Behind the wheel where? School or truck co. training. At any rate, have patience, take it slow etc. It takes time to become a certified, bonified, card carrying truck driving fool ! You think you know everything after a few weeks, not so....Luck to ya'

    Ya, take some asswipes with you. You never know where you might end up for the night, and when that truck stop food is going to get to you. You don't have to thank me now, but you'll be thanking me later. And make sure you put em somewhere they can be located fast.
