30 degrees
About 40 miles north of Indianapolis, the temperatures started rising rapidly. First 40 degrees, then 45, 50... 55! Finally, by the time I shut down just to the south of Indy, my outside air temperature gauge reads 63 degrees, 30 degrees warmer than I was three hours north of here!
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!
