I have run with Joker acrossd there he knows the road very well. I am the other guy that takes a bit longer I am getting more comfortable with it but not nearly as good as joker knows it.

I was driving the turnpike Thursday while my trainer sat in the jump seat He didn;t think that I could do it. ... He didn't remember that I know the turnpike and all the construction in Charleston area, but what suprised me was all of the construction right there at exit 34 all the wat to the state line.

What a week I had... I drove up to my trainer last sunday night so that we could drive to the consignee monday morning by... We get going deliver to Indy, make a pickup to deliver to Denver CO. We did that by Wednesday... Make a pickup north of Denver and start making our way back to Kansas City, where we unloaded and reloaded and started bookin towards Tuskalouska Alabama where we unloaded and reloaded right around the corner from each other, I guess that won't happen very often. Then back to Fayetteville NC for HT. We mady 3997 to the truck, which I drove 70% of the miles, which my trainer said that I would have been able to do myself, being that I am just in my third week of training.
