My Millis Transfer Experience Starting 9/19/11

Also like to give a shout out to Ryeman. It was good to met you today.

 

Come on down. There are some good deals in my sub-division. Go to www.lbar.com and you can get all the listings for any of the local counties. I know what your doing on your home time.....Making momma happy! lol

 

Day 9 has come to a close. Spent the morning on the range doing our backing maneuvers and being tested on those maneuvers. The whole class passed the backing test and after lunch we all climbed in Truck 63 and went driving. I think the anticipation was worse then the actual driving. Some of the class got interstate and some were on 2 lane. I got the 2 lanes going out to the Millis drop yard (Miller Brewery). I was hoping for more drive time today, but the instructor told us that he would give us more tomorrow. Digging the driving....Good thing...lol Until tomorrow....

 

Time flies while your in class. We're more than half way through the class. After tomorrow we have 1 week of on the road and then 3 days of orientation then I'll be out with my driver trainer. We are looking at either the afternoon of the 12th or the 13th. Just depends on dispatched loads. Plus if I pass everything from class.

 

Not sure, but as of today there wasn't anything going up to Richfield. So we will be driving around Ohio next week unless something comes up. Woody is coming in to do training next week. I hear that he is a hoot.

 

Week 2 is over with and I'm sitting at home writing this. We started out the morning doing video and power point. After that we all headed out to the truck and pre-tripped it and then we took off on a 2 lane for most of the day. When it was my turn I got the interstate. Ran south on 75 to Dayton. Did pretty good on everything today. Still need some work on down shifting. Plus everyone in class passed their backing test. I have homework for this weekend and then next week the trainer is going to try and give us about 2 hours of driving per day. Hopefully by the end of the week I should be better at the down shifting part. Until next time....Have a good weekend!
