    Two more nights at the house, then it's off to Ohio for orientation, and then new adventures on the road. I'd been home for a month recuperating from kidney surgery, and during that time, my previous company "terminated" me because I wasn't eligible for family medical leave. Legal, but kind of cold hearted if you ask me.

    Anyway, I'm getting on with a good company per the drivers I've talked with so no bitterness. Once I get going, I'll be contributing to this, my favorite thread here on TTR, on a more regular basis again.
