Chillin' in Illin(ois)
A few days back I was running a load south from Illinois to Houston. That night I was caught in a fairly nasty stretch for a few hours and you can see the ice accumulation on my truck, even after an hour or so of rain:
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!
