    No.

    No trainer or road test for me. NASA just has me in simulators. Low gravity is fun.

    Hope I'm not too late to chime in here. The best chance of finding parking will be the TA "West" on Morgan Road, exit 140. Go all the way around toward the freeway side and you should be able to find a spot even late at night. Loves built a new large lot location about 10 miles west, Radio Road exit 127.

    Late at night many of the sand haulers will start pulling out in either location, drivers that use the truck stops as their yard.

    More than a year of experience plus I’ve been driving class 8 trucks since the early 1990’s. I began driving full sized farm equipment at 12, and have won enough superbike, motocross and autocross and endurance racing events at the pro level. You’re also negating the 30 years of business experience I have and the fact I learned how to travel and use maps before GPS.

    So “right off the bat” sounds like a cheeky remark, but I take offense to it.

    I unloaded this forklift for the Marines about 20 miles east of Yuma. 117°F according to my thermometer at 2:00 pm. Drank two liters of water. Glad to deliver to the Marines, they bring three or four to unsecure the load as I break down the gooseneck. Still had to take a few breaks in the cab AC, drink water, and sponge off the sweat. Does anyone make a turbocharged sweat band?

    I picked up this load in san diego on friday afternoon. Friday night i found ants on the flatbed inside the boards that run the length of the trailer. Ive driven them all the way to indiana and they have made it all the way to the truck. Im hoping they arent smart enough to get inside
