Holy cow!!!! Yeah ours is capped at 5. Haha I'm actually in my parents basement right now going and down looking for my birth certificate.... I haven't needed it in years.

Thanks! What route are you going talk to them? I had to go to my state unemployment office.

So originally my appointment with my WIA agent was for next Tuesday. She called me this Monday and said she had to bump it back to the following Friday. It sucks but i mean there's not much I can do. I went in to ask what exactly I would need to get everything going so I can hit the ground running. She hit me with the it can take 30 days to get everything processed... 30 FREAKING DAYS!!! The school starts on the 18th. I went to my School representative, and she told me not to fret and to stay on her if I'm very persistent the agent might push it faster. That i needed to go to every local business put in apps and get business cards. And research the field as much as possible so that I can show them (WIA agent) that Im deadly serious about this. The leg work won't be a problem, just a major push back. I could be looking at 2 months with no serious income.

They sent a guy home for walking on the grass they have brand new training facility its really nice they help u in every way they can but if u fail a test twice u get sent home u have to the a physical agility test easy so dont worry about that they do a sleep apnea test they throw a lot of info at u at one time lots an lots of test i thank its a very good starting company hometime once u become solo is every week or every other week flat bed of course

lmao someone on my facebook suggested maverick but stay off the grass. I understand now!

The school recruiter actually said that too me today, but about TMC. I don't know if she was that serious, better not take any chances though. I'm not guessing anymore about the details. Obviously Flatbed companies take the petty details seriously. After all how can they trust you to be safe if you can't read the stay off the lawn sign?

That grass must be intense! But hey attention to details I guess.

Part of my trip planning includes pulling up a weather app so I know what I may be heading into. If I see severe weather, I try to plan around it, or if I see I am approaching a storm, I again check my weather app. If it looks bad, I pull over and park it. Also, I have a company that sends out fleet messages warning about all kinds of things. Heavy winds and storms among them. I can't see any fleet manager being upset that you pulled over for an hour or two to let the storm pass.

That sounds like a great plan. I read in an article that the safest people no matter what industry ask what ifs questions all the time though. And mother nature is a cruel beast that can make water look like a polar bear at the bat of an eye.

1. Who wrote it and where did they get their information? Experiments? 

The National Weather Service is a component of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA is an Operating Unit of the U.S. Department of Commerce

In any case I'm not staying in a semi. I guess in South Texas we had more hurricanes then tornados but no matter staying out in the open or in something that can get cleaned of the ground was a horrible idea. And lets be honest if you're on the road your best option for shelter is only an overpass. There aren't too many shelter stops. But there are exits.

Run under a over pass! Lol that's all you can do.

I'm with you guys, I'm 5'10", but according to my wife I'm 5'7", I don't know which ones right but she's usually right so I'll say 5'7". The trailers really aren't hard to climb, it's easier than a fence because you have the rub-rail to stick your fingers into for grip. No running start needed. You'll do just fine on that.

Oh okay, so it's more of a pull up from about 5'?

What kind of reasons did they find to send guys packin'?
