Buffalonytrucker92 Thanks this.

Also they said alot of the times your first trip out of Buffalo is too north Carolina. So that means I would have too go through the hills of virginia and stuff never driving doubles before. I'm nervous as heck. Maybe I'll buy a gps I rather do that then read paper directions. I'll be too focused on driving too read.

Does anyone know how the schedule is for extra board. I wanna eventually end up on a bid I'm not sure how long that is going too take. But that is my goal. And how are the miles being on the east coast am I gonna be like in a certain region? Sorry I know this is long. I'm just stressing out. -
BeHereNow97, McUzi, Lumper Humper and 2 others Thank this.

No need to get in your head too much about doubles. The two main things you want to avoid is anywhere you'd need to back up and excessively hard steering inputs. I'd imagine they might get a little more squirrelly in the winter, but I've never had to pull them in winter weather, and you'll have some months of practice by then. Don't work yourself up over then too much. Pulling sets isn't bad at all.
MACK E-6, Buffalonytrucker92 and jmz Thank this. -
Double pups are fun, not in the winter tho
MACK E-6 and Buffalonytrucker92 Thank this. -
Scale your loads whenever you can. Don’t trust what the company puts on paper. Billing errors and unmanifested freight does happen.
BeHereNow97 and Buffalonytrucker92 Thank this. -
I'm just stressed out about learning everything and being gone is gonna stink I have a four year old. But I'm willing too put my time in too hopefully get a bid route. Idk when my start date is I'm still waiting. But I appreciate if anyone can tell me where I'll be operating it's regional otr so I'm assuming east coast?Lumper Humper and BeHereNow97 Thank this. -
And probably a dumb question but if you scale out a set of doubles do you have to tell the truck stop employees that you're scaling out doubles instead of a 53'er?Buffalonytrucker92 Thanks this.
