    Good lesson learned: "Thou shalt not allow thou cell phone to go dead while waiting on important call!"

    Too True Buckaroo! But it was on the charger. I just didn't hear it ring because the volume was down to next to nothing. That's what I get for having an ancient Samsung with the volume control conveniently place so that it can be reset when holding the phone during conversation.

    Ahh yes! That pesky volume control. Never know where it's at even on my so called "smart" phone!

    At last!! I got a trainer and I'm on the road. Presently at terminal in Lancaster doing my 10 sleeper hrs. ZZZZZlol. I didn't kill anyone or have major troubles yet so I consider my first day as a trucker-to-be a success. We're headed to Washington,WV with my first load Hope I do O.K. will write when I can but now I need to get back to the sleeper.

    Really running the last 4 days. went from Lardo to washigton wv in a day and a half dropped the load and sacked out next day picked up a trailer from same place and dropped it in memphis. waiting for next run. I'm really improving and my trainer is great! I couldn't be happier! Gotta go he's been sacked out and it's wakey-wakey time.
    Be safe out there and Don't let the Minahunees get you!

    Bit of a laundry break at the Petro in Glade Grove VA will make it to site (outside of D.C.) really beautiful here. First time to see the Smokey Mountains. I had a good drive yesterday and we're on for delivery Mon. am. Got a walk in last night and enjoyed the country side. Got to hit the road.
    Be safe and Don't let the Minahunees get you.
