Thanks very much OS, I appreciate that! As you know, it's been a long time coming, but I finally made it! You've played a large role in my journey, and for that a thousand thanks. The words of wisdom and advice you've imparted in your blog and on TT's forum are priceless. You really ought to consider writing that book and start getting paid for your efforts!

He is RIGHT about this OS. You have a lot of great advice and wisdom to give out. Brett wrote a book. When you get a chance to, you should too. I would sure get a copy. I know it would be great to read.

Man, am I glad to see you posting something Pete! I have been wondering about you. It sounds like you are already a solo driver and in your very own truck - Congratulations!

Ditto for me as well. Nice going Pete.

You know you are going slow when a Prime, Inc. truck passes you and flips you the bird for holding up progress.

Yep, OS we all hold you to this. You better write a book. We will hold the forums down for you while you're busy writing not an issue.

Make it happen, only then can you retire.

When I drove for CFI in 2006-07 I drove a black Kenworth T600. It topped out at 72 mph. I loved that truck
