    I’m afraid I’ll do the OTR thing “until something better comes along “ that I can’t be at home to interview for .

    Started yard maneuvering today. They are practicing straight line backing, offset backing and 90 degree alley dock.
    As I tried to blend in with everyone else, the cat was out of the bag as I did all of them with zero pull ups first try. Granted, they were using pup trailers. But still…now everyone is asking me for answers and all I can say is “it’s in the book”

    I discovered that our state sells our information. Just after I got my permit I started getting emails and texts with job offers

    I’m leaning more and more towards Ken Graham trucking out of Brimley, Michigan. Flatbed outfit, chance to be home weekly

    One week to go before testing out. After knocking the rust off, memories kicked in and I have this in the bag.

    Just took my test after being "away" from my CDL for 16 years. Once I got back in the seat it all came back to me and I graduated for the second time Aug 27th. Now I have to find a job . Good luck Wickedfire
