Congratulations and good luck on your new endeavor! Sounds like a cool gig.

Interesting post James P. --- I myself feel that I am a melancholic/phlegmatic type but lean more towards the melancholic as I get upset too easily with people, but find that I have patience for things. That is one of the reasons I want to give trucking a try, it is a challenge to me, I just hope I won't get bored with it.

Not sure what type is best suited to the industry.

Agreed, patience is not just necessary as a trucker, but in life in general. Unfortunately our modern must have it now society does much to discourage many of us from being patient.

I also think humility would rank up there with patience for me. Mix these two with a good helping of crazy, and you have one fine human being! :)

Helpful info to keep in mind. But as James R. said the time of delivery should include the time zone market as well.

That's an easy $6K the school just made for pretending they train professionals. I would try to get at least a partial refund. Failing that there is always Small Claims Court. Just the cost of them to send a lawyer there will make them want to settle. Good Luck where ever you end up.

That's a funny way to paint a bridge.

I liked the load he was pulling for "Sleeptronic - Indulge the Difference"

I guess he must have been sleeping or indulging in something other than paying attention.

Interesting. I read a few of his comments from older posts and he seems like a decent guy, definitely know his stuff and comes across as a real professional. Wonder why he does not post on TT anymore?

"I can only imagine the scare of being throw down your bed....sometimes I have nightmares that I'm falling and it wakes me up every time, almost in a panic."

Falling in your dreams is common for many … this is what the "dream dictionary" says about it;

As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life. This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in your work environment. You have lost your foothold and keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life. When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control. This lost of control may parallel a waking situation in your life.

Perhaps it could be a reflection of this new stage in your life, learning to drive a big rig.

Aside from my family, I will miss the creature comforts of home. A warm shower, my own bed, my own toilet (sorry, just not the same anywhere else)

Thans for sharing your experience. Werner is one of my top three choices once I am licensed. I would be based out of Southern Ontario, so not sure which way the loads would be going, hopefully the southern USA! Not a fan of Canadian winters :(
