Start Orientation July 2014

I don't go out of route much, you can usually see walmart from the interstate! We are allowed to go out of route if our load takes us within 100 miles of the house, which rarely happens for me, as long as we aren't late for delivery. That's like $125 in fuel! Pretty generous of Melton for letting us do that in my opinion.

After delivery, I wait on the customers property if they allow it and they aren't busy. If not, head to the closest truck stop and wait there.

 

most walmarts are right by interstate or when driving on highways itll be not far, may even be in the direction you are going. i usually stop at one if i know im going to hit one on the way, to cut down on out of route miles.

after dropping off i wait at cons if they allow it or have room, if not at a truck stop. ive driven as far as 50 miles to a truck stop because that was the closest thing around and consignee had zero room

usually ask my dm when something like that happens, they usually say go ahead. have not been told no

 

When will u be in orientation? I start on the 21st as long as the company I'm with now doesn't strand me since I put in my 2 weeks notice!

 

Keep the info coming.. I am trying to decide Melton, TMC, Millis? Your posts may help me decide. I start school 4 Aug. Thanks for the information.

 

I did orientation in sunnyvale, we used an empty 48 for the road test.

 

did anyone fail the driving test on day one?

 

Spread axles are a beautiful thing.
