Airline pilots aren't under so much scrutiny. A camera watching me drive..... Sorry... Just a bit to Orwellian for me. I would have to draw the line on that also.

Hey Sandman:

Which campus are you going to attend? I was considering the one at Toccoa. Also what is the price of the course? I can't seem to find it online.

Thanks.

You will like the auto while sitting in Atlanta traffic at 5:15PM. Modern computer controlled autos are actually superior to manuals in terms of shifting and you have no chance of it coming out of gear when going down hill and ending up with a runaway on your hands. I grew up driving manuals... If I have to spend all day driving the auto is just one less thing I need to deal with. You should learn on manual though that way if you are ever faced with one you can handle it. Yes... I know how to speed shift or FLOAT gears as you now call it.

Glad to hear you are doing so well and holding up when the bad things happen. Keep us up to date.... Lover reading about your adventure.

Not being the most knowledgeable guy here.. I would say you would be looking for local or LTL deliveries. From your description it doesn't sound like OTR is what you are looking for... 3 weeks out 2 or 3 days home.

All good things must end and this thread was a good thing. Had a great time reading it and was always looking forwards to your updates.Thanks Daniel. Happy New Year to you and yours and here's hoping you find that local job you are looking for.

Happy for ya man! Enjoy it while you can. Hope your next year on the road is a prosperous one.

Also, anyone wanting to get acquainted with Ayn Rand's philosophy might want to read The Fountainhead instead of Atlas Shrugged... Shorter, more readable, same basic ideas... just my opinion

Actually next on my list right after reading a sci-fi by James Blish called Cities in the Sky.

And JOPA... would love to sit down and discuss world events with you over a cup of coffee some day. Bet we would have a great conversation.

Want to end your married life quickly? Simply add the financial stress of buying or leasing a truck to your already stressful team driving experience. Better keep the number of a good divorce lawyer on speed dial.

Are you really certain you want to be cooped up in a tiny truck cab 24/7 with your significant other? Every time I tried being in business with mine the relationship ended. May sound all romantic and wonderful at first.... update us after about 6 months.
