    The more fun part lol Im no longer a "student", Im a trainee :D I can drive the truck by myself, without someone in the passenger seat. Now Im learning more about how to do the job. As my trainer told me "my job is to teach you how to be a trucker, not a student." Now I interact with the customer and learn the paperwork/qualcomm side of things. Im being prepared to have my own truck. Is that right IP?

    Looks like I am about two weeks ahead of you Open road. Also found it weird with no one in the next seat after getting my license. I am about 10 to 11K into my TNT. Did you hear about the mileage change. Only 30 k of TNT then upgrade. Right now i am home in Va. Bch. Heading back out tomorrow
