Still waiting on that new trainer!

I am just killing time while waiting on the trainer that I might have scared away when I mentioned that I have not been running team but working days and sleeping nights!  He stated that we run as the loads run and I stated, I will try but by 1 or 2 AM, that might be pushing it.  He told me to get ahold of my student manager and I told him, oh heck, I will give it a shot.  Well, he was to be here nearly 40 minutes ago....hmmmm!

Since I am waiting for something, I just thought I would mention a wish list of the few items I will need when I do get my truck and this wish list is for any serious trucker running the 48:

Truck GPS
Road Atlas (lamentaed pages)
Rest Stop Locations including truckstops (small handbook)
Small electric cooler (AC converter for battery usually included or attached)
Small microwave (if truck as  a APU unit whichs actually supplies an electrical outlet)
Basic tool box (with tools)
Large tire pressure gage
Basket with basic cleaning supplies

I could go on but what is left, you really need to be in the truck to know........and hit Wal-Mart!  Now if you want to add a diamond encrusted gearshift handle, I certainly won't turn it down :)

Off to wait.......and ponder if I need a new trainer!

reia, I hope this guy is better than Jeff. But, with a name like Pedro I hope he speaks english. You have to be careful what you pray for you might get someone worse. Dear Reia i am proud of you sticking out a very bad situation. Your a trucker.
