    You've Been Researching This How Long?

    Thanks. We are very excited. Carrie was sure relieved when she passed. Now she is finally able to submit her passport application, I believe she is doing that today. Even though she has an enhanced CDL, our Secretary of State office (Michigan) still required her to show her birth...

    Partner problems

    I agree. No reason to have to put up with such treatment. If the fleet owner condones such activity, I would certainly question whether or not I would want to work for such an owner. Actually, no I wouldn't question it, I wouldn't be working for that fleet owner.

    Thanks Ragman, we appreciate it. We're sure it's gonna be challenging enough for us, so much to learn once we get out there on the road. Regards, Mike

We are having a family pizza and pool party this Sunday and will inform everyone at that time of our plans. I haven't put in my retirement notice yet, that will be coming as soon...

    We will be checking into it. Sounds like it could be especially challenging to coordinate the interview if we are on the road. Somehow we'll work it out though.

    Third time was a charm with TSA. Got our TWIC card appointments completed. The agent said about 30 days to get our cards, we'll see. Don't know if Carrie will be able to get her hazmat and tanker testing done this week due to the holiday but, if not, I'm sure she'll get it done next week...

    July's Roads & Loads

    We have downsized considerably in preparation for our new expediting career. Still purging thru stuff. Amazing how much stuff you accumulate over the years.

    You've Been Researching This How Long?

    Received my hazmat and tanker endorsements today, Carrie should be taking her tests this week. She had to reschedule her passport appointment as she needs to have her birth certificate to get the endorsements on her license. I thought it kind of odd since we both have Enhanced Driver's...
