Look what the Truck brought in! haha
Whats new folks? its been a good while since i've been here. Been working local as a contractor for Pepsi Bev out of Urbandale, IA. Run about 55-60 hrs a week and home everynight. Life is good. Family and I moved up to the Des Moine, IA area and enjoy it here. Im looking at switching to a tanker position for Casey's General Stores doing fuel, so I came back here to work on my Hazmat training. Just got my TSA Approval letter last monday, plan to take the test this friday.
Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season, hope the storms don't get to rough for you all. Keep the rubber side down, and to the new folks here, Welcome and STUDY STUDY STUDY that High Road Training.
