I'm also very happy theres more than enough freight out there. I was kinda worried about that. Also glad to hear everyone still kicking butt out there.

Well, the wife said enough is enough. Bahahahaha, she told me to " fix it" , must be why we're pushing 19 years married. She said it sounded to mean.

What happened to, "Berserker"?

Hey, that's great to hear!!! Glad things are rolling along nicely. Cannot wait to get back in a darn truck! I know there for a while we'd spend countless hours looking for those magical empty trailers for the next load. That part I don't miss lol.

Hey fellow truckers! Well, long story short got sidelined for some VA issues and what not. Been out of the darn driver seat for what feels like forever ( about 4 months). Getting ready to see if I can get back OTR. Look forward to it for sure. Well, I'm glad to be back and have a lot to catch up on. So hows the freight these days?

Oldschool, thats great news to read!! Hopefully dry/reef kicks off like no other. In the end we owe you, and the rest of the flatbed gang a huge thank you. Also. Once i can get out east, i look forward to buying ya a cup of coffee.

That's no kidding!! Im glad that parts over. Im now looking forward to learning the lifestyle now. I just wish we could have learned the super important backing maneuvers like the 90°, 45° ally docks...my parallel is on point tho...bahahahaha. but for real why do some states not require those backings given thats probably most of every backing y'all do daily? I just look forward to learning all I can.

Thank y'all kindly! Cannot wait to get out there and learn the real ropes of the trade. The feeling knowing outta 22, I was the 3rd first time go. I'm really excited about this new journey!

Thank y'all kindly, now that the easy part is done I look forward to learning the lessons of the road. If all goes as planned, I hope to be out with a trainer mid January! Thanks again!

Fellow truckers, Haven't posted much, been pounding my brain with knowledge last few weeks for test today. Was nervous at first, but the flow just started for pre trip, nailed maneuvers, no hit cones or encroachments. Had a few moments of 4 wheelers being you know what, but outta our class of 22 and testing all week, I'm only number 3 for 1st time go, and 4th overall getting it. I appreciate everything on this forum and credit it all to the information found here. So, tomorrow morning I get to take a trip to the DMV and get that squared away. Happy happy happy. Looking forward to my start with Knight! So any Knight drivers here, I'd like your opinions on Knight as a whole. I know no place is perfect and pay isnt a million dollars a year, but I have talked with the terminal manager out here for Knight and he's a stand up guy, and I like how he conducts business so I feel at a minimum this will be a great start.

Truckers, I've just completed week 5 of school, I had an amazing time driving on the road, and my blindside maneuvers are on point. For some reason I cannot get my driver side maneuvers down. It's the strangest thing I've seen. Also were in a 05/06 Volvo with sleeper and 10 speed(which is fun as heck to drive). So any word from the wise on getting my brain to click on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
