    My question is why/how are you authorized to do this job if you don't know where to start?

    I imagine you'll train with someone?

    Whatever you do, DO NOT ask your drivers if they have time, or if the load makes sense. Do not bother looking at their hometime schedule or anything else. Throw the load at him like a hail marry and you will be fine
