A straight-from-the-trucker's-mouth narrative of life on the road: 18-wheelers, truck stops, lot lizards, trucking companies, highways and byways, wild weather and a whole lot more!

Not so fast...
I guess I wasn't finished after all. About five minutes after I pulled into the local truck stop I get a message on my satellite unit to deadhead down to El Paso, TX. They wanted me there by 6 PM, but my 14 hour clock runs out at 3 PM so I'll do the rest in the morning.
If you are looking for an excellent school to teach you how to drive a big rig, you should consider Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri. I did my training there and the instruction is first rate. If you are looking for a trucking company, you might look into the deal that Con-Way Truckload has with Crowder for training. Call Christine Harwick at 800-641-4747 and tell her where you heard about them!
