he has another guy making short runs with it. it does sit but not for very long.
the last time talked to him was last month and we discussed waiting for my wife.
erin just started her school bus job. and it wouldn't look very good if she just started a job and then quit. believe me i wished i was already on the road.. i did get my permit,
but i have to have licsensed driver with me at all times. i kind of feel like i'm taking a step backwards. i haven't had a permit since i was 15! and that was over 30 years ago!

For permit, i assume thats like a "learners" permit?

Sounds like the same thing Sandi has right now, all she had to do was read a book, write a few tests and she can drive with me, or anyone else that has had their class 1 a for over a year.

Once you get your full licence that`ll all be behind you and forgotten.
Hang in there Jack, you`d do just fine!

If you ask me the learning permit is a good idea Jack!

I actually think that going to a course, or truck driving school is a good idea too.
