Default hello

hello, my name is Sean, I'm 28, and currently reside in Lancaster Co. PA. I am 3rd generation truck driver but just recently decided to get into it. I've been a cook a computer operator and a lube tech at the local wal-mart prior to getting bit by the trucking bug. i went through one of the most accredited cdl schools on the east coast and graduated 2nd in my class. This sunday, the 19th, I'm heading down to USF Glen Moore's Knoxville terminal to meet with the head of saftey to finalize some paperwork. After that i'm hitting the road for the first time with my trainer for 4 - 6 weeks. I'm real excited and a bit scared to be honest. I am a big animal lover with 1 dog (dazee) 4 cats (topaz, lita, shyanne, and chax) and also a ball python (rebel). I've been contemplating and researching about taking a pet with me but i won't even be in my own truck for at most 6 weeks. and even after that i want to get some decent miles under my belt before deciding for sure. In my spare time (which i feel may deminish) i like import tuning (fast and the furious style), and working on my honda accord cpe
