Well weather was not permitting today for all of us to get to try for our license. 2 passed 1 failed and 2 non starters. I was fourth in line so I was a nonstarter . But no worries gonna be in Mount Sterling Kentucky tomorrow driving a 25yo FLD so if near by watch out because the other guy testing isn't great at it
No prob, you're good to go!
Focus on you.

That's only happened about twice with me in 4 1/2 yrs..
Wish I had your problem...just spoke with Dispatch and Load Planning...nothing, not even an 'On Reserve' in Akron still after 29 hours, so told em I'm meandering home to wait for a nibble.
...in the growing Pond.
They figured it out......I passed on Newark NJ to South Boston for .90 mile. Took JFK to New Britan CT for $5 a mile. After the trip in the rain to JFK I know why they paid that much!!

Thank you I hope so I got the jitters during final practice this afternoon and couldn't do anything but a good nights rest and I will knock it out of the park. If I can get to the road test I will get my license because I feel the most comfortable driving forward as I assume most do

Once your actually in it, doing it, you go to a different place.....it's just you and the truck and it's wonderful!
I know you will be just fine, you will pass it all.

When we got home I noticed Maggie right away shaking her head, scratching her left ear and rubbing that side of her head on the back of a chair. She wasn't doing any of this in the Sprinter! I took a look and Yep, she was trying to get a Tick out of her ear that had embedded itself!
First one in 2 1/2 years! I dabbed Alcohol on it and then White Vinegar followed by thick dishwashing liquid. It loosened it's grip or died so I could easily extricate him, head and all. Little bugger! I just didn't want to push the poison into Maggie by squeezing. She was scared at what all I was doing but got over it quickly with some hugs n love. I am SO careful about not walking her anywhere near tall grasses, weeds. Not careful enough obviously. But I'd stopped the liquid Flea/Tick Preventative two months ago, so won't do that again! Will keep an eye on her health.

Well good thing you caught it right away. Hopefully she will be all right :)
