    Well I have been assigned a trainer and will meet up with him tomorrow morning. Klingon's truck isn't ready yet, so I get one more night with him. Won't 'see' him again until the end of March'ish so I'm going to cherish tonight. His truck should be done tomorrow - at least that is what is being promised. We'll see...

    Oh and I got to meet Raincatcher and RoadRunner!! How cool is that!! She is on her third week training. It sound like they are doing great :D Maybe next time we will have more time than just 10 minutes passing in the hall - LOL!
     
    Texas-Nana Thanks this.

    Klingon I highly doubt you have to hide the hood to confuse those guys! :biggrin_2551:

    Actually most of the mechanics at Central are pretty good. They have actually let us sleep in our truck in the SLC shop before while they worked on it! Not sure if it was just due to being a husband/wife team or not but they always got us in and out of there fairly quickly. Now going to a dealer is a different story. It has taken so long to get repairs done at a dealer that we had actually rented a car and driven home to FLorida while we waited!

    Ya... I have noticed these guy (at least here is Fontana) are good too.
    Now some of the companies they do business with, that is an other story.
    But more of that in my update.... lol

    Well... LadyK is out with her trainer. They left here this morning and on her first day, she already has had two backs. (it took me a week to get my first two backs in).
    I got to meet her trainer, and he seems pretty nice. I THINK things will be go pretty good.

    Me
    Well the Shop Boss here in Fontana told me today that my truck would not be ready to go till at least next Monday. The hood had not even been painted yet. So he was going to see if he could get me into a truck that had just got dropped off her today. The ones that had it just parked it in the yard and walked off.
    Well, then I heard that was 09 Kenworth that no-one would take. Well we did!
    We now have a 2009 Kenworth W9 and I got the inverter put in and I am now setting here waiting for a load. I'll try to set up a pic of it.
