    some of one told me today while in orientation on thursday your on the road. What are they looking for?I know where all students so are they just getting used to driving a 10 speed and pulling a flatbed since some of us have only drove 8 speeds while in school just for 3 weeks and we all just fresh out school

    If you're fresh out of school you'll get a trainer who will teach you. If you are not getting a trainer then Yes you'll get a truck and a load for Friday.

    It's not bad, they'll give you a book on loads and how to secure. Main things are layers and alternating pull. Tarping is a monster you gotta find your way to make it work.

    dont worry too much about tarping. after my 6 month here now i feel pretty comfortable with it. youll find your rhythm to it. may take a little bit but i got it down pretty quickly now.
    if you get loaded with a forklift have them use it to help you throw your tarps on top of load. itll save some time
