The PGA they tested me in had no clutch.... 8 inches of free play and the turbo damn near exploded getting on the interstate.... it started billowing blue smoke. That was the better truck.
The first one the shifter broke and the top of it was the splitter... they need new Freightliner but they will not die.

OK, don't take me serious, but have you ever just thought, "If I screw up some, I could get more attention and driving time."?
Sorry, just the way my mind works. If you are talking behind someone's back, where are you really at?
Good deal Eckoh. I guess I missed it that you were at Swift, sorry about that. You've found a good place to get your start.

Gunner, all you gotta' do is decide that you're going to succeed, no matter what. Also, most of us aren't getting in to this profession with a ton of money on hand, so maybe a company-sponsored program is the way ta' go for many ...
Leap! ...and the net will appear.
