In the Atlanta airport right now actually. I like the city, but this place is insane haha

Keep at it man, gotta keep those good vibes. When you make friends and one guy messes up, the rest of the group reassures and gets him back in the right mindset. You'll soon be behind the wheel, and it is a scary feeling. But when everybody's keeping each other in high spirits, you'll get comfortable very fast.

I still keep in touch with two buds from up in Kentucky. We went to CDL school together and went our separate ways, seeing whose landed the best job, whose got the nicest truck, the best loads. Friendly competition keeps a guy on his feet you know!

Thanks for the advice and yes i agree with the friendly competition!

And oh man to the fellow who wont get a break from greyhound

Whilst doing so a man came up to me and said what are you doing to my truck! (while i was checking the lug nuts for rust) .... i yelled back inspecting your truck ! Incase you havent heard im sherrif around these parts! Btw your lugs have a bit of rust that'll be a 5 dollar ticket!(extending my hand out ) and we both just bust out laughing hard as can be. He then showed me some other things to check for around his truck.

Deonte you just made my day. Nothing like a good sense of humor to break the ice....and to justify yourself!!
