When I’m going to a new yard that I’m not familiar with I like to check on google earth & street view, sometimes it helps to see where to go. Great video Dillon. 👍🏽

I heard they got inward facing cams. If that is the case RUN! Any company that has an inward facing cam is a horrible company. Freedom of the road is great if you're built for it. When there's an inward cam there is no freedom of the road. You're like a prisoner in a cell.

😂 I didn't think I would ever say I was gonna try a vegetarian diet myself lol. I've always been a meat lover. I've tried so many different diets, including carnivore where I only ate meat. But I got so sick of meat and craved greens and fruits. I'm gonna experiment with it and see how it goes. I feel hopeful about it. I'm around 273 now. I'd like to get down to 230-240 and maintain around there if can. It's a huge change for me, that's for sure! It's always good to hear from you. You will be starting the gycdl program soon, right? I hated being away from my family during that time period too but it went by so fast!

@bluegrassoutdoors
@bluegrassoutdoors 3 ай бұрын
They do not provide transportation to the terminal as far as I know. It does not cost you anything up front for the gycdl program. You have to get your permit and a dot physical first which does cost some money. I have videos on that as well. But if you break their contract for 120,000 miles you do owe them $7000. As long as you complete the contract you don't owe them anything for the gycdl program.

I had to pay for my transportation to the roehl terminal. Once you get there, they have a ride for the first day, but after that, you have to find someone in your group to ride with unless you have your vehicle with you, but they do cover the hotel and your breakfast and lunch. I have some videos on the whole process if you’re interested 👍
