    I would try to stick it out at least 1 year. Type of conviction can make a difference. Those two tickets do not help your case.

    Nah they definitely don't. I've been inspected once or twice a week lately. I gotta make a change

    I'd suggest builders transportation out of Memphis, they have a yard in Birmingham. They do not allow pets on company trucks. They used to but then someone had a dog on their truck that tore the truck up causing thousands of dollars in damage. When they told him he could no longer have the dog on the truck he was fine with that, when they told him he'd have to pay for the damage, he went ballistic.

    OK I'll absolutely keep them in mind. I don't want to give up having a pet with me. I know it will do alot for my moral, but if I have to give up I will. But not until I exhaust every resource. Truckers Truth has an excellent list of companies that allow pets. I've been calling everyone today that meets my dogs criteria

    Just got off the phone with LTI they will take me with all that nonsense I have after a year of experience. So I'm learning just have to keep at it and keeping asking. I'm OK with being told no a hundred times if a hundred and one gets me a yes. I'll keep y'all updated on who I talk too and what's going on. Maybe this will help someone else out

    Whatever route you go, do try to keep it somewhat around the speed limit

    I left Vernon at 2pm yesterday. Got a full dose heading South to Yuma. Only to sit and wait two days at church brothers

    If you ever run cali don't push it any more than what everyone else is doing. I got real lucky once across 58 I was trying to maintain pace with a car hauler he was pushing 70. I am governed at 65 (for now at least). Black suv coming up fast. He flashes disco lights at me as he flys by and pulls the car carrier over. Had there been 2 cruisers there's no doubt in my mind I'd of gotten a driving award that day.

    Also remember moving violations are worse than non moving violations.
