There are some drivers that will not give you the time of day. Fortunately they are the minority. In fact I have had several drivers take time to answer questions. The other day while on 30 minute break with my crew from school, a driver from Beacon Transport came into the lounge just to talk to us. There are a lot of great guys and gals out there. Like anything in life though, there is going to be bad with that good. Glad to see that you have chosen to be a good and professional driver. Good luck to you!

I am at the red roof in houston, everything is ok. free plane ride but had to pay 25 for luggage. shuttle service to red roof is free. fiesta grocery store down the street and dennys next door. nice people at front desk, room is dated but clean. free breakfast at 6 am shuttle leaves at 6:30 am. wish i had my car. oh well hope all is going as you have planned.
Cool,,, Sounds like Schneider will do exactly what we want to and hopefully they'll cover the $25 luggage fee but that's not a biggie if they don't because with what your getting accomplished is will all be worth it in the end Michael!!!! All is going good. I bought some boots yesterday to work in and to climb on top of that tanker. Stay Focused & Stay Safe man you got this!!!!!!
