TMC Experience - From an experienced driver's POV

Just to recap my previous thread I was in Des Moines all last week for orientation. Long story short, I had to go out on very short notice due to my former job let me go two weeks earlier than the last day I had given them.
Orientation week was great. Randy is great for the experienced guys. Just a word of advice, bring your brain to his classroom, and follow his classroom rules. He'll tell you what you need to know or do, but it's up to you to do the work. He's hard, but fair.

Anyway, I'm staying in the trainer's truck tonight, and we're heading to West Union, SC with a load of rough cut lumber in the morning. I'll keep you updated what we have going on next.

 

Right! Forgot about that part, and don't lean against the wall.

 

Well, we're off to a slow start. Right side headlight was out and when we tried to change it this morning, the screws were rounded out and we couldn't remove the lens to replace the bulb. So, off to Rush Pete in Charlotte, where we've been for the last two hours.

 

Unloaded in Moss Point, MS. Got a load plan to pick up partical board to run to Hagerstown, MD. Nice paying run, we're pretty much team driving, so we're hoping to get it off the truck tomorrow afternoon.
