    Once a Marine, always a Marine. Lemme guess, you did your best to be "First to fight" , took point and then Barney Fife showed up trying to do his best SWAT impersonation.

    Sorry, couldn't help myself.

    Yea. I don't even watch football. I was talking to a buddy of mine at the Chesapeake, VA terminal who is a big Gators fan and he told me about the game when I told him I was on my way to the Kentucky terminal. The reaction I got at the Louisville Terminal was worth the load to NYC he gave me. LOL

    It depends on the truck you get. If you get a automatic or a different transmission 13/18 they'll have you go out.

    Incorrect, at least for me. I was a company convert (the only one in my class), went from a 10 to a 13 speed, and I did not take a road test. Was in the classroom a total of maybe 5 hours.

    If you are a company to IC transfer and are getting a Freightliner you will not have a road test, however, if you are getting a different brand you will have to take a road test.

    Yes, Lawrence is still there and he is really good!!
