Day 13

Well...

We spent the night driving all over the Milwaukee area. When I finally got behind the wheel around 4AM the fuel pressure started to drop at highway speed. It kept falling below 5lbs. So we had to take the truck back to the campus so that the guys could work on it today.

We have the rest of the day off and will start tomorrow at 5AM.

We only two more days left to go. Then we will be assigned our OTR triner and will hit the road for upwards of 12 weeks before we can get our own truck.

I'm really looking forward to getting out there and making some good money and finally be able to take of my wife and kids.

Truckers are a proud group of individuals and deserve alot of respect. Too bad other drivers don't give them the respect they deserve. I've been able to see this first hand, cars on the road think those trucks can stop on a dime. It takes a truck at 60mph, over 550 feet to come to a stop. Think about that the next time you cut a truck off....
