A Critical Piece in The Puzzle of Success at Trucking
even if it means you sometimes get stuck doing something you don't want to.
Like that blindside backing off a busy 4 lane road in downtown Chicago IL. it payed off though, my next load was 2100 miles to Stockton CA.

Where to get a Mini refrigerator?
I have a mini fridge that I got at Walmart. I set it behind the passenger seat on the floor, plugged into the inverter. it works good, doesn't move around at all.

A fella walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. He said, “Shingles.” So she took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aid came out and asked him what he had. He said, “Shingles.” So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room. A half-hour later, a nurse came in and asked him what he had. He said, “Shingles.” So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor. An hour later the doctor came in and asked him what he had. He said, “Shingles.” The doctor said, “Where?” He said, “Outside in the truck. Where do you want them?”

how do the moving trucks, for example allied van lines, drive in residential areas that are non truck routes. i am just asking because every house is not on a truck route. some of those roads are small.

I thought it was time to upgrade my status to experienced driver. i sure made a lot of mistakes since i started school a year ago. i will say that the day i become an expert, i will have to quit. i would be dangerous then.

If anyone is looking for the perfect place to park, I found it. It is at the Walmart in Winona, MN. It is the only place in this town you can park overnight and not get towed. They have space for 4 trucks. There is a walmart, target, menards, 3 places to eat, and 2 haircut places all within walking distance of the truck.

Hello
I haven't been on here in a while. I almost quit driving the way I was screwing everything up. I had to take time to concentrate on driving and get better. Some people say I take turns too wide now, but at least I don't hit anything. I am getting really good at backing now. I am at the point now where I should have been a year ago. It just took me longer to get there.
I am now working for a different company on a dedicated account, just running the upper midwest. I am home every weekend, still running about 2500 miles a week.
