Team Davis - Ready to Roll!

You, me, and #3 with our truck

Our family is back together again - and we are officially professional drivers!

I got back to the terminal to take the upgrade tests but unfortunately had to leave for drill weekend before finishing. Yesterday I got the road test and backing test done and upgraded from student to professional status. Team Davis is back together! And over the weekend we picked up our baby girl too, so our family is complete.

We have been assigned our new fleet manager and we are waiting for our first load assignment. We have lots of stories to tell from training, and we will be making more stories as we roll together, so I will do my best to keep this blog updated.

Happy navigator! 

And for everyone who has asked how #3 is adjusting to truck life, well, she has made herself at home! She wasn't too sure about it at first but is adapting to the space restrictions. All 3 of us in one twin sized bed is quite cozy! She thinks the bed and the passenger seat are equally her domain, and puts her paws on the dashboard any time we leave her in the truck. She's learning to get herself in and out of the truck with a little help. We may eventually get a ramp or stairs to help her so it's not so hard on her joints though.

I missed him so much!

So for now, we are settling in and adjusting. Now that we're finally in our own truck, we can get things the way we like. We've been organizing and figuring out where to put everything. We have plastic organizers in the cupboards for clothing and food, and the top bunk has room to store our cooking appliances and extra stuff. I plan on doing quite a bit of cooking on the road, which is usually much cheaper and much healthier than truck stop food!

I hope y'all have had a good summer/fall and I look forward to catching up with everyone!
