Hello Rusty, yes I finished last week on the 4th. As a matter of fact I am sitting in a hotel room in Pensacola, fl right now. I just finished day one of three of oreintation with May Trucking. Hopefully I will be out on the road with my trainer before the end of the week. I have to drive with a trainer for four weeks and then I will issued my own truck.

And for others on the board here I am going to be running all 48 States, I hope to be able to meet some of ya'll as I travel around.

DB;
Congrats - you and Griff running loose around the country - maybe more than we can take.
Have fun and take a camera so we can share in some of the sights that you see.

Once I have been issued my own truck I will have my camera with me, but for the sake of space on my trainers truck I chose to leave my camera bag at home, but I refused to leave my lap top at home I just could not be without my leverguns forum.

No I did not retire from NASA. The reasons for my resigning from the Space Center are many, but the meat and taters of it is I have been working with the nastiest chemicals and solvents that science could dream up for most of my life. I just felt that it was time for me to walk away from it.

I gave mine up 15 years ago, But with no recnt experience I was forced to go to a truck driving school in order to be employable in the trucking industry.
