Iowa City, Iowa the slow way
I'm off to Iowa with a heavy load for Proctor & Gamble that is due to deliver Monday at 2 PM. This is a long time for just 1,250 miles so I'm going to head to Joplin and take a day off on the way.
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!
