    Truck started up like a champ. It didn't want to, but it's running.
    First load is water to Walmart in sterling. That's what I get for leaving midweek I guess.

    Water is consistent, isn't it?

    Yes, but it's usually for regional drivers, it's nice because it's always there though. A good load out because it's so close to home compared to GR.

    I did a whole lot of NWNA from Stanwood to Chicagoland when I drove for Kuperus. In fact, it was usually how we all started out Sunday night.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Paid deadhead back to mi for a load going to Bruce MS, and I can only imagine a direct backhaul to holland.

    What mega has the best CDL school? He needs a "at your pace" kind that he can get help with the written stuff.
    I was driven through like cattle at swift, I don't think he could keep up with that kind of massive group going through the motions.
    Someone said celadon has a good school.

    Turns out I'm getting a 2 stopper ending in FL instead of a backhaul. I'm ok with that.

    I'm north of Atlanta in Emerson, GA, heading for Orlando tomorrow. All the nasty weather seems to be staying north of here. All I'm getting is rain and it's warm.

    I would have your friend stay away from Stevens, too. They're expensive and not very nice to non-CDL holders.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    As the temps rose above freezing in Alabama, the sun started warming things up and frost turned to dew...and started dripping from the ceiling of the truck. In several spots. It could be from anywhere on the outside . Hopefully it drips on my towel for a little while and it's over. I can only imagine what is going to happen in the rain. I'm considering having a sit down with the GM about all this cosmetic BS and see if we can work something out that isn't a band aide.
