Joe, how you doing with the close quarter (city) maneuvering, that seems, to me, that's what would be the pita.

It is easy. Had a close street in Norwich Ny but all about how and when you turn. Wrapped up my driving for the week. I have 0 out of 70 left. So the next day I can drive is Saturday. Here is a map of states driven so far. Pen an NY were twice. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8a61ee2a2c.jpg

Well, I may get to see them for a short visit. We have to pick up in mobile tomorrow some time and drop about 45 min from my house. So at some point in passing the area my wife and kids will meet up with us. Hopefully!!

How do you find the kids are handling things? Hopefully, being back in school helps a little.

Pirate 08-22-2019 07:03 AM

They are not fond of it. My son takes it harder than I thought he would. It may be harder today since they will be in school when I leave. And they come home to me gone for a few more weeks.

Caleb 08-25-2019 10:59 PM

That’s gotta suck..... hopefully you will get a more local route and be home more often.

sdmc530 08-25-2019 11:20 PM

Sorry to hear that. Kids are going to take some time to adjust but I hope you work something out that is good with them. I feel for yku guys on this. Sucks being away from family

RKP 08-26-2019 04:58 AM

Yep, that's got to be a tough one for sure.

Pirate 08-29-2019 10:15 AM

Hey guys, so been lax on keeping you all up to date. Been trucking pretty hard last week or so. Last trip was from New Hampshire to Fort Worth. Now we are gearing up to go from Fort Worth to Seattle.

Thanks Rich for keeping in touch through text.

Safe travels Joe !

Pirate 09-04-2019 08:52 AM

Looks like I have 35 hours left as of today. So that means my final testing is approaching and should be in my own truck by next week. From the conversation we had during our trip prep Kansas was brought up being the closest when my hours are reached.

Good deal and best wishes, keep us posted Joe.

sdmc530 09-04-2019 09:18 AM

Wow.... those hours went by fast!
