So, I know from previous discussions that there are some truckers/former truckers lurking here, such as Privateer, and a few others. I've completed all my training, received my CDL (with tanker and HAZMAT), and I've been OTR for two weeks now. So far, I have not hit anything, I haven't had any run ins with the law, and I've passed 4 cars/trucks (Schneider governs their trucks at 60, yes, I am a rolling traffic jam

).

I'm hauling tankers, from Arkansas, to Alabama, to Iowa, Wisconsin, and Indiana. I think I've got abput 4000 miles so far, not a lot of sleep, but it's all good, as long as I'm rolling.

I discovered that parking in a Wal-Mart can be risky--I woke up one morning surrounded by 4 wheelers!

Any advise or stories you want to share, would be welcome.
