No snow here and it`s warmed up abit to -11 which is also the low for tonite, a hi of -8 tomorrow. The windchill does still have some bite to it.
A good idea get the taste before committing yourselves Jack since it may not be to your liking. I didn`t care for being continuously on the road after only 7 months of it.

the laws are different here than up where you are. they only let you stay out for so long then you have to have a vacation. when i went with my dad we were only out for a month at a time. i was going thru divorce at the time and my dad wanted to get away for a while. get out and see the sites so to speak.
i just want a job and be safe with accident free runs is all i want. or a dedicated run!
and be home at least once a week.

prep,
i know but hey it makes money thats what i'm telling myself! and your right its easy but the laws have changed alittle. i haven't had a CDL for almost 20years. but i have been working on the big trucks/trailers without one. and the u.s. doesn't require you to hold a CDL to be a D.O.T. inspector! all they require is for you to be employed for more than 6 months! at a company! i've had my same dot number for 15 years.
