I will give it a shot. It needs to be typed exactly as you have, correct?

There were some updates last night, but a few of them failed. They appear to be at least somewhat important. They How do I resolve this?

Here's the finished product. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgXjaaWGji4&list=UUa4wPBoEi7_lTKdsQm2zTGg[/media]

I'd recommend you not use D & W Appliance Service.

I opened mine two or three times before sticking it in the safe. I guess it's alright.

Does it seem to be an issue with a certain serial number range, or could it be a problem with any of them?

The Outsiders. I'm not the type of person who can watch movies more than once, but I've watched this movie countless times over the years.

This is nothing more than a "request", and they will not be posting gun buster signs. Nothing to see here.

I stopped in their twice. I'd say they went out of business due to lousy prices and a range that would require the use of a gas mask.

If you don't like cats, this is your dog. A friend saved this dog from going to the pound, but she needs a more suitable home. The dog has been wonderful around my friends toddler and other dog, but is not a fan of cats. Here's what she had to say about the dog: This is Daisy. She was found hanging around my daughter's preschool for several weeks. She was at risk for being picked up by animal control so I brought her home a few months ago. After taking her to the vet we were told she is approximately 4 years old, 66lbs, already spayed, heart worm negative, but had tested positive for a tick-borne illness called ehrlichia. She was given treatment with antibiotics. We weren't sure about keeping another dog since we already had one plus a cat. We gave it a try but soon realized she was very interested in our cat. It got to a point that she couldn't be inside with the cat unless she was in her crate. I emailed a local organization to help find a new home for her but never heard back. Unfortunately our story has a tragic ending as early Sunday morning Daisy broke loose in transition from her crate to outside and attacked our beloved cat, killing her. It has been extremely traumatic for me dealing with this loss and I need your help in finding a new home for Daisy. I don't believe she should be put down over this as she is an extremely sweet and loving dog...she just doesn't need to be around cats.

Good price. I picked up a set from PSA for $85, but that was only because they were on sale and I had a $50 gift card.

I don't exactly have a game plan, as of yet. But I do have an idea that I believe in. I had an idea that I truly believe could make a positive impact on the area I live in. I'm not out to be the next Habitat for Humanity, but some positive impact is better than none. 

I have one life to live, and I feel the need and have a desire to make an attempt at doing some good in my community. While a few people I've talked to insist this will be in vain because people don't really want to change, I can't accept that. Even if some people don't want to change, I want to believe there's hope for the children. I want to believe at least some of them can be lead down to the right path. I am in the very, very beginning stages of this; hardly more than an idea. Problem is, I've never so much as worked with a non-profit, much less have any ready idea of the ins & outs. I'm hoping to find someone who's willing to give me some advice, in hopes that I can avoid some of the trial and error. My father always told me to learn from someone else's mistakes, and this seems to be sound advice for such a venture. Anyway, before I started contacting random non-profits, I thought I'd ask here.   Thank you in advance.

Yes. I went to see it at the IMAX 3D when it was first released. I thought it was amazing, but I am a super-duper Metallica fan.

If anyone cares to watch this in the comfort of their man cave, this is now on Netflix.

[quote name="Photoguy67" post="1163574" timestamp="1404006844"]Are you sure about that? Company I work for sent me through a company school at their cost and I have never gone over the road, home in my own bed every night and making .54 mile or 22.93 hour depending on what I am doing. your call though. :)[/quote] Another truck driver? Who do you drive for?

Personally, I'd choose the reefer. I did some low boy/flat bed stuff for a while, and it can get filthy. Not only that, but you'll have to climb all over and tarp those loads in the rain, snow, sleet, heat, etc. While that may not be to awfully bad for a local driver, it wasn't very fun doing it OTR. Showering and laundry always turned into a much bigger chore. I couldn't seem to find a shower fast enough.

You're a much better man than myself, or a lot smaller. Being cramped in those LW sleepers would not be easy for me. 

I just got off the phone with my Uncle. He said Tennessee does not make you retake any tests. You'll basically be getting temporary residence in MO, then you have 45 days to get the CDL transfered to TN. He had no issues with his HCP. He also strongly suggested that you obtain your CDL permit before going to the driving school. 

While doing some research on the subject....  

Pretty sure I hear the sound of sizzling bacon coming from the kitchen. 

Many sleepers have an area to put a mini fridge or electric cooler. Hell, I have a friend who has a fridge, microwave, electric griddle, flat screen TV, and a PlayStaytion 3 in his sleeper.  The Cascadia will have a better space for a fride, if I remember correctly. I think the Prostar would require a fridge that goes under the bed.

Unfortunately, it has become extremely difficult for anyone who hasn't completed truck driving school to find a driving job, unless you already have verifiable experience. Once I obtained my CDL, I called every single trucking company who had an ad listed in the classified section of the Sunday paper. Not a single company - big or small - would give me the time of day. Every single one of them said I didn't qualify, because I didn't have verifiable experience or complete driving school. Every single company blamed it on insurance regulations. I had far more experience and knowledge than most of the guys fresh out of driving school, but that didn't seem to matter. If it wasn't for my Uncle's roommate getting into a serious motorcycle accident and needing someone to drive his truck, I'm not sure what i would have done.   I had been around the business my entire life. I learned to drive, shift, and back a semi before I got my regular drivers license. Rather than going to a 3 or 4 week school, I got my permit and spent months on the road with my Father. Trust me, I couldn't have had a better teacher, because wasn't allowing me to half-ass anything. I definitely didn't appreciate him being a jerk and embarrassing me in the middle of truck stop parking lots and loading docks at the time, but I was extremely thankful while I was out on my first solo run. He did everything in his power to ensure I didn't hit the road as a rookie, only to make some of insane rookie mistakes we hear about on a regular basis. My first solo run was from Nashville to Salinas California, Salinas to Detroit, and Detroit to Nashville. I was scared to death, but I was confident that I had more than adequate training. Far more than anyone who goes through a driving school.  

If nothing else, a CDL is nice to have. There is no shortage of truck driving jobs. Even if I quit driving a truck today, I'd keep my CDL, just in case I ever needed a quick job.

I wish I could be more help, but I didn't go through a truck driving school. My father was an owner-operator, so I took advantage of the free training. I had been around trucking all of my life, so I was able to get my permit without cracking the book. I then went over the road with him for a couple months, so I could get some real world experience under my belt. After I was comfortable, I paid a local truck driving school $200 for them to administer the pre-trip and road tests. Be prepared to be away from home for weeks at a time. Many companies like to promise certain amounts of home time, but most won't follow through. Even if they do, many drivers quickly realize they can't make enough money by being off on the weekends. I guess it all depends on your situation. Living out of a truck can be very expensive if you're not careful. You'll have to learn to make sure you do as much shopping as possible while you're home, because you'll go broke buying stuff in truck stops. Getting to a Wal-Mart on the road isn't always easy or convenient, especially while driving a truck. Just remember, most companies are not your friend. Most won't hesitate to lie straight to your face. You're little more than a hired steering wheel holder. Take advantage of the education and experience, then consider moving on. I was fortunate enough to never be forced to work for a large company. My first driving job was OTR for a friend of the family who was an owner-operator. After a little over a year, I found a local job, and I've been here for 11-12 years. I only drive in TN and KY, so I carry every day.
