    Thanks man. Everything is going great so far.

    Ought to cut the dopers off at the knees...I'm sick of paying for losers to get high.

    Thanks for the electronics advice, it was well received and will be used.

    Well you can go through the "Return To Duty" protocol but you're pretty well screwed.

    SEC Network offers several packages...that's my plan.

    Well said and absolutely true.

    Seems you're smarter than a doper. No surprise there.

    My school made the same announcement. Two disappeared and one failed despite the sound advice.

    Thanks man. I certainly appreciate your encouragement. Posts like that really make a new guy feel a little more confident.
     
    Hick, Lonesome and bamalife123 Thank this.

    He says no lease has been pushed yet but from what i gather it looks like they really put the crunch on you when you get back from being out with coach...curious to see what he says regarding this.

    Track 2 days 1&2

    Well here I am doing the job. I left Kansas yesterday afternoon at 3pm and drove a bit over 500 miles through Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and up to Indianapolis in Indiana before my clock ran out. My coach was impressed and decided to try a team setup so he took over and got us to Pennsylvania where we are now waiting for about an hour for an unload then I take back over to get us to Oklahoma via Virginia, about 1450 total miles in addition to the 1100 we just finished. I have an outstanding coach who keeps the encouragement flowing freely while he teaches me the real job of being a professional driver, a title he takes very seriously. Guys and gals, I'm loving every minute of this. Gotta go now, looks like we might be getting unloaded a bit early. I'll post as often as possible.

    I don't know how it is for trainers, but don't get too used to those pre-planned loads working out very often. They are pretty hit and miss for company drivers.

    But it's good to see you are hanging in there. Teaming for 9 days is probably going to try your patience. It's hard to sleep bumping around at 65mph when you ain't used to it.

    Just keep your chin up and soon you'll be lost in Chicago like the rest of us have... alone. :)
