There have been questions of what is going on with us, so here it goes. January 30th I took my CDL test and passed with flying colors. I was in the process of getting my upgraded CDL for a job that I had been offered in Lansing. During the process of this we had a few different offers come across the table for us to drive as a team. Due to circumstances that arose, we accepted one of the positions. We went trough orientation the first week of February, and started running loads for our new company last week. I seem to have taken to it very quickly, and well I may add. I have even driven through NYC already. I actually drove more miles than Nick did last week! I am back to driving nights, which I really enjoy.
We are very happy to be back running as a team together. I am enjoying the straight truck as well. I like having a dedicated sleeper, a way to cook, as well as being able to drive again. It is a Freightliner Century, the upper bunk has been taken out and custom cabinetry installed. The standard plastic cabinets have been removed and wooden ones installed. We have a larger refrigerator with a separate freezer, which is great for me, to have a larger variety of foods to cook for us. While we are sitting we can enjoy watching tv. For right now, we are keeping quiet as to where we went, just for personal reasons.
We plan on being at MATS, which at that point, our new company will be displayed on our truck. Hope to see you there.
