    Ain't that the truth. I don't always hit that parking space the first time and when I don't, the sweat begins to flow, lol.

    My trainers did it on the yard. All we were doing those days were grabbing empties or spotting tanks to be loaded. One had me blindsided around the road at the back of the tank maintenance facility in High Point. Usually it was at the end of the day and the trainer was on the clock anyway.

    A student dropped out and the two in front of my son weren't ready, so my son started trucking school today.

    I'm in a mood thanks to the Kankakee dispatch. It has taken over a year for me to get actually pissed about something with the company. I'll refrain from posting the details about it until I'm less pissed off. That may take a couple of days.

    Given how alot of these forums are monitored by companies, it's better if he posts with a clear head and less.....color commentary

    These companies can monitor whatever the heck they want to, unless you are a total screw up, they are not doing anything!!! Companies might not like, but oh well, they will get over it
