    They are sleeping, right? What a nice quite place they have chosen. I can't wait to be in one of those! 20210627_094235.jpg

    Well the TA wants $160+ tax for a battery. Thier cheapest. There is a Western star /FL dealer 1.5 miles away. So in the morning with a little luck a battery and a coolant sensor. Changing out the back batteries is such a Hassel. The truck does start with two batteries granted it's 90'F out. Not 4'F. Dog is on a chewing spree. . But she gets me to walk more, which is good.

    Wilson Logistics told me that when I'm about to take my off days, then they will give me a load to Seattle and then I get to keep the truck and take it home.
    I think I'm gonna work for Wilson logistics for 30 years, I see no reason for leaving them. They are in Montana and I want to buy a house there.

    I paid like 2k 8 years ago. To get the seat time. The permit is easy with the online tests available.

    Washington State. This trucking school here submitted an application on my behalf to the state. I'm a low income guy, I hope they take care of my tuition. Once I get my cdl, then I will go to welson logistics

    In the midwest there is lots of movement and money in trucking. I know very little about Washington state
