Everything is still good on my end. I head back to yard this weekend to get a new trainer. My trainer is Kraft dedicated and only runs Midwest. So all I am getting is miles. He has really taught me a lot. Wish he ran coast to coast. Everyone be safe out there.

Well that kind of sucks... my trainer is a ####### and a pig, but we are getting tbrough the requiremets. I have been up and down a bunch of mountains, Cahone, Cabbage, Parley, Soldier, Blue, Tehachapi, Grapevine and a coupke I don't remember. After unloading today In San Diego we are loading for a run to CT for my last region and my Northeast Dock.
Good luck with the new trainer and with meeting all requirements.

I swear that I had the same trainer but I know that mine has moved on.
He was also a no bathing , nasty pig but he taught me how to drive and got my requirements in no time at all. Had my first two mountains (Cajon and Parlay(?)) within the first 3 or 4 days on the truck. The last requirement was the mileage and I had that done with plenty of time to spare.

I got 3500 + miles with my trainer. But he taught me everything else he could qc trip planning fueling dealing with shipper/receiver. I had a flat first day so learned how to deal with that. He taught me to float how to break. How to couple in couple. Safty procedures. Plus more I can't think right now tired. I had a good time. Oh how to scale load move tandems. Plus more I'm sure. Gotta wait till Randall gets in Monday so I can get new trainer.

Often, when you load produce in Cali, you head the wrong way...UP the passes. Ask your trainer if you can 'flip' the pass. This is when you reach the top, you turn around, go down, then back up.
Some trainers do it, others don't.
But 'ya don't ask...'ya don't get!
