    Cool Yay Me

    Well today I found a job, small 1 truck company. From what I'm told lots of OTR. Talk about hitting the ground running...pick up Bellingham going to Jersey....here's the kicker...I'm so good I don't even need a trainer. I'll be on here a lot to get input from you GMAN and Orange...
    Never done this before, don't get me wrong, I've driven straight truck for 13 years, just never combination. Hopes I run into you guys out there...and not in a bad way...don't need anything added to my DAC be in touch....have fun....and thanks you two for your input, been helpful through out the years...

    No, it's "Students With Idiots For Trainers!"
    Either way, good luck with the new job.
