The Big Rig

So here is, yours truly, and his training truck. I finally had enough nerve to ask them to take my picture with it yesterday. Rob wants to know if it comes with "Training Wheels," and Brady thinks me driving this is a "Scary" thought. Nice to have support from your family.

These guys have five of these rigs and are adding at least two more. They aren't cheap so I have to think they must be doing ok.

I'm about 1/2 way through the course now and I'm making progress. Last night (4:30 to 8:30) we were in town all the time, but, tonight we get to do some highway driving. I really like that idea. The inspections and air brake knowledge is building and although I have a tough ten days ahead of me I think I can get through it all by the beginning of July.

The air hitch for the truck is on it's way from Kentucky, the new fenders for it have arrived, the old bumper is off and the new one goes on today. We did a deal with the seller to exchange the 24" tires for some low profile ones which should make it more functional for our purposes. The guys at All Rig Custom are expecting to get their hands on it tomorrow to start installing the hitch and lay it out for the Smart car. Can't wait to head down the road in our Big Truck, with a little Willie Nelson on the radio, and my CB humming in the background.

Some guys "Never Grow Up." It's a good thing...........
