    Have you found out if you are going yet. I have my ticket in hand. Now I know for sure that I am really going.

    Glad to see things coming together Bill. We have been
    out straight. Headed to NJ then to Colchester VT.
    If we can' t get any decent miles I may be home Sat or Sun?
    Looks like we won't be getting the west coast.
    Bummer!
    Things are getting better; been in some very tough
    backs. They can't teach you the stuff you run into on the road.
    Just gotta do it. Wait till you try to squeeze you truck into
    a rest area with 50 other truckers watching! Snicker!
    Praying you don't screw the pooch Ha
    Oh, don't aske where I have been, cause after awhile I have
    to look at my logbook when I wake up to know where I am at.
    After awhile it all blends together.

    The school teaches you how get you cdl. The trainer teaches you how to drive a truck.

    How far west have you been. Colchester, VT seems like it would be hard to get a load out of there. Maybe I'll see you in Syracuse.

    RM, I should be out another 2 weeks.
    You'll get your date so hang
    in there. And yes Bill I was just sharing
    the obvious about my driving experiences.
    It's ashame
    they don't teach you real life senarios. It would make
    the cost prohibitive.

    Headed to Maine via Rt 2 through the mountains
    , this is going to be a nice drive. We dropped the Costco
    load at 4 A.M. And actualy got some well needed
    sleep. Driving from NJ to VT we ran RT87 then cross over
    in the glens falls area towards Rutland.
    The drive north on 22A seems to go on forever.
    The roads are heavily crowned and are narrow and windey
    you hang on all the way.

    I know how you feel. I waited 3 months to get my date. Keep on them.

    Rte 2 in MA? If so did you do the Mohawk Trail. There is a nice hairpin turn out there that must be fun. Keep on posting.
