Last year TruckingTruth had 1.78 million visits from 1.08 million unique visitors.

1.08 million unique vistors huh?...That means I should have all kinds of lurkers coming out of the cyber space woodworks! I think it is time to start that fire under their butts again! I want to see people sign up and join in on the conversations! I know there are plenty of questions to be asked, and answers to be given. We love new people! It makes our day. So what are you waiting for? Who is going to be the next lurker to come in and introduce themselves? I am here patiently waiting. Hope to hear from you soon!

I registered a few weeks ago and must say that the High Road CDL Training Program is awesome! I love that it will not let you "guess" at answers. I used it to pass my written tests and now I have my skills test tomorrow morning. Thank you for the effort that you guys put in to this site. I am renting an automatic truck with a 28 ft flatbed for my test tomorrow and yet I am still nervous. Wish me luck and and again I thank you for the knowledge this site has provided!

I did not lurk at all as soon as I found this site I joined it. also shortly after that I started the High Road Training Program and have successfully completed it.(it is an AMAZING program brett). now it is just a matter to decide to go for it or not, confused.gif I have a little over 5 months until I am out of work due to a layoff from my current employer. but in the mean time I continue to check my retention of the material I have learned on here and continue to follow Daniel B's thread.

Thanks Anchorman. Its a good thing to encourage others to join. I know I have learnt lots from the Q/A and I am still learning new stuff. Just don't forget some of us "GIRLS" are truckers, newbie truckers and wannabe truckers - (referring to "Quit being a girl and sign up already".) Only the ratio is different.

Guyjax scared me with his reply to my first ever post on TT and he hasn't stopped since. I want to invest in one of those high end air horns for the day when I pass him on the road late one lonely night and return the favor.

Now that will never happen. My brother drivers nights. Besides if you were to pass me ,though highly doubtful, and blew your air horn as you went by I would come back on the radio and tell y'all "Nope driver I am good. I don't need servicing this trip out but I bet there are a few that would take ya up on your offer in the truckstop"smile.gif

More than one way to get even
