    Well Im in Oklahoma for the night, got stuck here due to a slow receiver, oh well. I am at my next drop until the AM. Then off to Amarillo, TX for a few more drops! I actually like furniture routes, they aren't as hard as I thought just putting around town can suck. I got into one yard today for a drop and the guy had to have every employee come out and move their cars so I could turn around (I even told him I was a BIG truck, I got there and hes like ohh that big, I was like yea what did ya think it was, hes all a box truck) I just laughed. Took a few minutes to get turned around in his "yard" more like backyard lol.

    Weather has been crazy, yesterday I rolled through TN to AR and as soon as I hit the border the sky behind me turned pitch black! It was dumping rain. 10 miles down the road and it was sunny skys again haha.

    Awesome day, made it to Clovis, NM for my last drop of the day, I had to beg and pleed with the drop to have someone stay 10 minutes late so that I could unload 3 peices of furniture. If they didnt do it I would have been screwed for my next 2 days. Since I would not have gotten out of here till after 9am then in Albuquerque by noon and both my other appt are AM only. These guys saved my butt big time!

    Funny stuff tonight I didnt feel like subway yet again (seems subway is EVERYWHERE) so I tried this Cooks corner place right next door, yea the cook was a chick and she was MOONING customers LOL... The place was busting up she was having a good ole time back there.

    Hey rio, can't do pm's yet, but I was lookin at the 10 day in conover. But I think I am moving in another direction. If the 30 day in mud-zoola is a wash, check out your local comm coll. Usually cheaper and better. Just look for accredidation. Gimme a holler if I can help.

    I didnt get to go through it but if the 30 day program at WS is anything like the 10 day program just with more drivetime and information it would be well worth the price. i paid 4300 just to get my CDL. That was through United Driving School in Riverside, CA. That got me 2weeks book time for the permit and 2 weeks driving and testing. It wasnt bad but there definatly is more you can learn, and for WS to get you there then hire you when your done its a sealed deal. Wish they had it when I was looking I would have jumped all over it. I still am very happy with the 10 day, its just ALOT of information to soak up and goes quick.
