    Oh BTW, thought this was funny too. The mechanic from Carlisle that repaired my trailer tire told me he's getting tired of all the lazy drivers. He said he's going to start embarrassing people that called him out on road service to change low level light bulbs and mudflaps.

    got my physical done in Dallas yesterday good for two more years and back out today,apparently i got flagged Friday due to my medical card expiring today so the system would not let any loads be put on me to get me to Dallas.E mailed Cliff and David Hartline about what was going on and Sunday morning got a call from a ops mgr and then a load cordinator which found me a load to Mesquite Texas in which another driver had run out of hours two hours from the final.All is good now

    Thats almost as funny as some of my "customers" telling me how to do MY job lol. Especially when they don't even have a CDL.

    Hey Green you got a cb in your truck? Every time I'm running through PA or OH and I see a Venezia 9400 day cab I ask if it's "Green Machine.". Haven't got a reply yet but if you hear it, that's me.

    Yes I have a CB and it is always on 19. Im not in a daycab anymore (as of last week). I am still only hauling dry bulk tanks :). Ill update my signature when I clean the truck up, but im in a 378 Pete sleeper, truck #988. I need to get a new coax to get the cb to work though :(.

    You'll see me on I80 between 4 & 212 in PA. I79 between I80 and Clarksburg, WV. OH7 down to Marietta, and a few other places including all over the Pittsburgh area and I76 in Ohio.

    I see that a lot of people are hating on usa and this is only my first week in training but my trainers cool and Im loving it. I get to take my 34 hr break in flordia at the beach. They have ran us hard but that's what I been wanting and if it stays this good when I upgrade then ill have no problem giving usa a year. I know it want always be this good but hou have to take the good with the bad.

    My family is all in trucking so I know how the industry is but your going to have up and downs everywhere. So I guess we will see how it goes but good or bad I like to give a year. I at least want to get them paid back and give it a chance where if I don't like them at least a year exp. would get me another job
