First of all, I sense a hint of "spam" here. Thank you for the flowers though Mike. Mr. Freeman,,,transportation technicians are not "made" in 3 or 4 days. There is a plethoria of situations to encounter on the road in this industry that cannot be learned from a book or video. Yes, you do have to satisfy all the legalities, pass tests,,etc.,,,but doing all those things wont make you an instant driver. Its kinda like me going to a coaching academic site and telling coaches I am tired of driving, I want to be a coach, gottta do it in 3 or 4 days, forget all other B.S. and just hand me the degree. Lives are at stake when you are operating large trucks, not just yours, but others. Anyways, all said and done, if trucking companies are so eager down there to hire, they will train you and provide you a truck to test in and satisfy all legalities. Believe me, They are very eager for you to be responsible and safe in their vehicles. Now dont get your feelings hurt, just slow down and think all this through. randypI am trying to change careers... after coaching for 15 years I have decided that I would like to be a truck driver... this should not be a surprise since I am from Ganado TX and all of the men i grew up with were Truck Drivers or worked in the oil field. I am looking forward to my new career and companies are ready to hire me here in Victoria... I took the A CDL passed I took the T endorsement and passed... I can no take the HAZMAT which I am ready to pass until I pass the DPS driving test... How the hell do I do this without a truck... Victoria College has a trucking degree and certifications but it's 4,000 for 3 days if i read the site right... or $300 for a school in Houston... Can anyone give me any leads of how to get the drivers test done without asking a personal friend to borrow his truck HE CAN NOT TRAIN ME UNTIL I HAVE MY A CLASS... Unless I'm wrong and my former B class is a real A now even without the driving test... I am highly confused pissed and need to know how to do this so I can get my HAZMAT while I have great companies still hiring... Or if you know of someone that will take me now and train me at their yard that would be great too... can send them my resume and references...

And if you can call and help me speed up the process that would be even better.

one of the companies i used to work for had 4 of these 3 had cummins engines and 1 had 2 detroits 6v92s i think. one turned normal and the other turned backwards they were mounted flywheel to flywheel with a gearbox inbetween them. if you had a big enough sack of marbels they would go anywhere if it was dry. but if it was wet you couldnt pay for a ride like you would take in them on a small hill. the biggest prob we had out of them were the front springs if you hit a bump or a hole too fast it would break the springs.
Joe, les just not have any more talk bout engines "running backwards", I may have a relapse with cold chills,,,,randypone of the companies i used to work for had 4 of these 3 had cummins engines and 1 had 2 detroits 6v92s i think. one turned normal and the other turned backwards they were mounted flywheel to flywheel with a gearbox inbetween them. if you had a big enough sack of marbels they would go anywhere if it was dry. but if it was wet you couldnt pay for a ride like you would take in them on a small hill. the biggest prob we had out of them were the front springs if you hit a bump or a hole too fast it would break the springs.

Well great Tom! My wife has recently politely re-arranged MY, yes, MY office,,,not hers,,,MINE,,dont know why she did that, but cant find my spec sheet that came with trailer. I will keep looking. In meantime, you may go to Kaufman website, its prolly on there. I had written the salesmans number on spec sheet also, will find it for you. It is a 25 ton, I bleeve 26 feet of flat deck then dovetail,,,the 60's wrecked my memory though. randyp

heh heh, no, luckily we didnt get any of that! Texas has been having some really strange weather here lately. I gotta go check that out. I did watch that news film the other day where the 40 ft. reefer trailers were flying bout 3 or 4 hundred feet in the air in the tornado in Dallas. They were getting whirled around like paper sacks! Its just hot and dry already in Northeast Texas where im is. I spect we gonna see another drought again,,,oh well,,,good for pond digging anyway,,,,randyp

Well, dip me in doodoo Billy, went back and read his post and you are right. Oh well, I dint pay much tention in school, and I been outta there a looooooong time. Matter factly, principal burnt school down just to get rid of me. He testified it would be worth "dropping soap" in prison shower to not have to deal with me anymore. randyp

I got a new Kaufman, 25 ton, bleeve it was bout 12,500 or 13,000 dollars. It has done a really good job, have used the crap outta it a coupla years now. I ordered it and they shipped here to texas from nebraska. Its got really good heavy D- rings and a good storage for chains and ratchet binders in front neck. It is an open neck design, I requested that kind and they built it for me. It has spring loaded ramps and is very easy to load up excavator or dozer or grader. I really like it..Lemme see can i find a pic on here of it,,,If you are interested, I have a salesmans number up there, really nice helpful guy,,,,randyp

Thas them all right! Cant magine what they would do to poor young Vinny when they got him between them! Treachorus rascals! randypThis is amazing, but true. I am astonished at this picture, shows what could possibly be an alee-un invasion...or not.
I sent the original UFO picture to noted UFO expert randyp in Texas, where he used the advanced technology available to him to enhance the photo greatly with his technological stuff that he has available to him. It shows what could quite possibly be two alien beings, one armed with a discombobulator, who appears to be trying to sneak up on the other alien, who appears to be clueless as to what's going on.
Here's the greatly enhanced photo, you'll have to use your own judgement.

Apparently,,,you are not aware of my "vivid" imagination, so better pass on that one. have a good safe time,,,randypThanks for all the great ideas' gentlemen. As I will have 5 guys with me not sure what they will have on there minds too. The cousin thing doesn't sound bad since we are separated by about a dozen states that would make us "distant" cousins and Mike probably wouldn't want a house full of northern boyz drinking his shine. The Nashville info looks great and the other guys like country music and I like the man in black too but my ears tend to bleed if prolonged ex-posher to it. I'll take plenty of pictures but the cousin thing you'll have to use your imagination

Stay way from there,,its no place for young clean feeble uncorrupted minds like yours Vinny,,sides all that, wouldnt wanna see you get raped and pillaged. randyp

Yeah, its scary when you think bout all the situations you been in that books and videos cant cover. It definitely is a daily learning process. I hope he doesnt think I was trying to shun him away from this bidness, I wasnt, He just dont need to think its something you just learn in a few days and take off with it. randyp
