Many of us have had a posting or 2 with Boston tanker, which of course includes me and my time in downtown Boston's Chinatown and soutie. So you have an idea on tight city streets and spotting a truck. which will be of some help later on into his future at Werner, and where ever else he goes later.

Some have mentioned that you too get a CDL and go team, as a paid team member, not a ride along.

that does have some great possibilities as ALL that money earned as a team, stays in one house. Rather than say 2 strangers, living separate lives, in separate houses. Financially, you'd be able to pay off your students loan(s) faster, and be able to save up money to buy a house (or pay off the one you 2 might own now).

As a Masters holding Criminal Physhcologist , I think I can safely say that you will do VERY well in the salary AND benefits area, over any truck driver team could ever imagine, plus you'll have shall I dare say, an easier lifestyle, than that of being OTR as a team. You'll be able to stay clean, eat regularly, sleep better, and so on and so forth.

Then to, you really would be a bonafide truckstop lawyer.!!

and God only knows, the plethora of those at the truck stop counters, along with SOOOO many ex-Navy Seals......and former Army Rangers..........~~~!!!!!!!!~~~

As I am sure I have said to Tanker (wishing him good luck) , good luck to you, in whatever you choose, but to me personally, I'd not stop pursuing a career in what you will soon be a graduate of.

That's why I figured hit the road for a little. I REALLY want her to finish her education. I have a class A cdl now. I can work and live anywhere. The reason I chose Werner is because they said as long as I have hours I can run. They said if I don't want to go home every weekend I don't have to. Hopefully it works out and I can. That way she don't have to worry about working, and I don't have to be paying rent on a place we won't really be.

Mass DOT had them posted for some time. Then it was the T is back don't drive lolololol. The public transportation system is still a mess after this winter. Oh, don't forget the Tobin is cashless now. And 93 N is closed on Tuesdays from 11-5 in the Tip O'NEILL tunnel since that's been falling apart since it opened. Blinkahs? Nah, just keep your eyes open ha ha ha

Life is a journey. All these other companies on regional want you home every weekend. I don't have to be with Werner unless I want to be. That works for ME
