I'm about to load a bowl, what are you up to man?

Good stuff man, try to learn as much as you can from your trainer. If you get a chance, talk to some of the older guys or anyone who looks like they're hauling something special. Its always good to get advice from others, and even though it might conflict with what you've been taught, it's still good to know. I wouldn't recommend trusting just anyone though, if you leave the truck, make sure to keep an eye on anyone around you since truck drivers are easy targets. I'll try giving you a call sometime soon, or a text or something, you can call me Jack.

Back to Chicago now. Prime pays good and the equipment's not bad, they have new fleets. The guy I asked told me he enjoys his dry van, but they worked him pretty hard, much like my own company.

If you don't have a smartphone, get one. I bought a new phone with unlimited talk, text, data, and 6GB of hot-spot Wi-Fi from Metro for around $90. You'll want google maps in order to use images, there's apps that report traffic incidents, and you really wanna get an app that'll list truck stops.

Get a truck stop guide, leather gloves, a tire checker or small bat, some shop rags for fluid checks, an updated Atlas for 2016, and something that will occupy your time. You're gonna need a way to kill time. I brought a guitar, DL'd a game for this phone, and put a shit ton of movies on a laptop. I shut down at 0700 one day and only got back 3 hours the next day, I was going insane in that truck (though it was very poorly planned on my part).

PM me your number man, I'll hit you up sometime.

In Indiana, by Chicago. Might be heading home today, gonna give you a what's-what when I get the chance. Talked to a Prime driver too, just to get you some details on how it is with them.

ill talk that as a happy birthday comment lol thanks dude

Word, my trainer said he doubled his pay just from leasing his truck. However, you gotta be a businessman at that point because it requires quite a bit of time to manage costs and such. But I'm leaving for the midwest tomorrow, I'll hit you up when I get back in a few weeks.

Doubt is a good thing when it comes to a lot of things, but I'm not so sure about this. Only time will tell.

I'm a generally solitary person, but I don't know if I can deal with almost-absolute isolation for three weeks at a time. If you wanna do it, I say go for it. Every failure has some sort of success, even if it's not apparent. I figure if I can't do this type of work, it should serve as motivation to seek employment elsewhere and work harder. If I can do this type of work, then more power to me.

Hell yeah, it's an honest way to make money. But Roehl took me and I live in South Florida, they're paying for my plane ticket to the terminal up in Gary, IN (by Chicago). Never drove a truck?

You would have to get in touch with vivica about color changes
