    Two of the people for orientation have been stuck in St. Louis since Saturday because the bus lines shut down. Hopefully they will get rolling again today and be able to join you.

    Well, the two engine lights that came on last night are my biggest worry. Other than that, and the coolant chugging dd-15, and my 6.3mpg today, I guess I'm just hard on trailer tires. The past couple days have been hell. It seems like midwest weather did everything it could to keep me from delivering to walmart and picking up the Tyson load. But it had no idea how much of a stubborn bullheaded xxxxxxxxxxx I am. I'm in Sapulpa now, waiting to see if they can un-xxxx this tractor, then see if I can at least make it to Arizona before finally running oit of my 70. At least I get that extra $100 for running that WM load in. I'm gonna run the wheels off that muddy tractor. I'm not a good loser.

    Shouldn't have left it laying on the ground. LMAO
    Why does the Marines always say the NAVY stole my (insert name of item.) We don't steal we blow it up if we can't hide it. LoL

    Well I am sitting in Ottawa, KS thanks to another driver doing a swap I deliver in the morning in Moberly, MO then possibly head home from there. Only 4 days late on hometime. LoL But hey I was rolling and making money. Kinda hate getting rid of that load it was going to Cali only weighing 15k.

    Hope you get your truck squared away Jarhead.

    Why do we say it? Only because you slimeballs steal anything you get your paws on, lie about everything, break stuff, and smell funny. That's all. Not like Marines who are honest, trustworthy, reverant, and can be trusted with your daughter.

    Yeah ok I would never ever trust a Marine with a daughter. They are so lonely you have to watch the farm animals around some. LMAO

    Busy day. Received word that I was approved for orientation. Scheduled for Monday the 10th. Will be driving my personal vehicle and will figure out how to get it home at a later date. Starting to get excited. My old trainer with Central has had nothing but good things to say the last two weeks, plus that coupled with this thread and its a done deal. Catch you guys down the road.

    The orientation process has been easy today. Everyone that I met today was nice and friendly. Unloader----get your orientation videos done before you get here. It is very beneficial to you if you do. All of the '14 trucks where already spoken for, but I did get me a '12 Cascadia. Has 290K miles on it, but that is ok with me. Doesn't seem to have any major problems. I had to start the APU to charge the batteries on the truck to get her started. The shop records indicate that a new set of batteries where put in a few weeks ago, but they are going to double check them and the starting system because she wouldn't start. The inverter and battery cut off was left on, so that didn't help the battery drain along with the cold weather.

    Also, got a chance to met Sharpp and Jarhed today. Those two are good guys.
     
    unloader and Sharpp Thank this.

    Just wanna toss it out there... camaro isn't the only squid following the thread. Remember its not how many Sailors it takes to keep a Marine in line, its how many we will use. ;)
