    So almost through my second week with my trainer driver. So far I have been to 10 states and Canada. Absolutely loving it. My trainer is fantastic, is making sure that I not only know how to do something but why to do it that way. 3 more weeks until I can test out and get my own truck.

    Take every thing in , and I mean everything . If you think , oh I wonder this is this way . Ask !!!

    I was in a hurry too when I went through training and yes I was excited to get my own truck , but there were times i called my trainer for help because i never asked ...

    Good luck out there , and keep the shinny side up , or greasy side down. Witch ever . Lol

    I still call my trainer to this day for stupid little things. He's one of my best friends. You learn a ton in those five weeks. Don't be afraid to take notes.
     
  6. one suggestion. get out and look!

    O/O owner operators will never give you grief if you take the time to get out of your truck and look around.
