The first couple of weeks on the road driving flatbed were hard, because my body was not conditioned to this pace, this type of work, or these long hours. I lost most of the feeling in the tips of my fingers, and I had aches in places where I would have sworn I didn’t have muscles.

Randy’s Home Time During Training – Part 1
I LOVE “normal” life. We got lots of errands done, I sold some stuff on Craigslist and Randy had a little pinstriping job – we made more money today than his last paycheck. 
He keeps saying how nice it is to be home, and I keep telling him how nice it is to have him here. Home will soon be somewhere else, and we’re going to start moving tomorrow.
Randy’s Phase 1 CDL Training – Part 6
We’re about half way through with CDL training and Randy is hardly making anything out on the road with his trainer. He can’t wait to get done with training. He’s been through a lot already but unfortunately there’s still a good ways to go.
Randy’s Phase 1 CDL Training – Part 4
So, Randy has been acting very strangely and I can hardly get him to talk to me at all. Two days ago he was all happy, now he seems really uncomfortable again…something is going on in that truck. I suppose I won’t find out until he has some “alone time” again.
Randy’s Phase 1 CDL Training – Part 3
It’s been a few days for Randy on the road now and I think he’s getting a bit wacky 
He’s struggling with some things but doing quite well overall. Being apart this long is not getting any easier for us.
Randy’s Phase 1 CDL Training – Part 2
Yesterday I forgot to say all the states Randy’s been in, just since the beginning of the week: Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina. Before he went to school, he’d only been in 2 of those states. I know this is super-exciting for him so far!
Randy’s Phase 1 CDL Training – Part 1
Randy just started phase I training out on the road. It’s a lot of pressure but very exciting at the same time.
