    Whatsup, its your new favorite poster here with a question! I was wondering about safe miles and if you have a boneheaded team member kill 37 families while I was in the bunk. If there is an accident while i'm in the sleeper berth will that go on my safety report?

    Okay, sure, that was a bit extreme. I mean accidents in general. I mean you could kill 37 families without killing me in the berth! I mean, she could have just decided it was time to crash family picnic day at the shipper. But I don't quite understand how it all works.

    With all the stresses and pressures of being a safe and reliable truck driver that are out there, a professional truck driver is, by far, better off being SOLO.

    Too much can go wrong, ranging from personality clashes to totally different driving styles.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Yeah thats tough. I am so bummed I have to go with a trainer for 20,000 miles this fall before they will turn me loose on my own. I have been driving within the State of Alaska since 2011 so no recent OTR.

    I'm going to go with Celadon (hopefully) I actually kind of like the idea of going team for my first 124k. I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess up my CSR through no fault of my own. Celadon seems to be the fit for me, but If I don't get on with them I have no problem signing with Prime or any of the other starter companies.
