Got a job offer from Cypress Truck Lines

Yeah man.

 

First week of training at Cypress, and 4 more weeks to go, my trainer is home on the weekends, so I'm off right now, Cypress is alright for now. First impression of actually driving a truck and putting 400 miles a day? It's hard, harder than I thought, not the amount of time you drive part, but the different kinds of roads you drive on. I've lived in Florida for 12 years and I have never driven to another state in a car before let alone in a truck, because Florida is so flat, so I'm not used to driving on all these roads, climbing on hills that are 100 feet high and climbing down on them, bridges that are 100 feet high with nothing but a big lake on the side of them, it was nerve-racking!! Going through freaking Atlanta with traffic on both sides of me, traffic pattern changing, road constructions, it's crazy as hell. All of that with a freaking 77k lbs load of lumber that is notorious to shift on my trailer... I haven't gone through the mountains yet but my trainer wants to take me there, I don't want to LOL!! Well, I guess you get used to everything new you're doing, and I just have to get used to them, and practice perfect things right? The things I have to work on more are my backing, like my setup and stuff, I need to stop over-steering and I definitely need to watch out going through tight areas so I don't hit anything. Any more advice would be appreciated, but I just wanted to give you guys an update.

 

Thanks, man! I'm starting to get used to them roads, still hate driving through constructions though but It's getting easier for sure.

 

Cool, I'm taking baby steps and learning as much as I can, I don't think I'll stay for a year in a flatbed though lmao, I'll do at least 6 months then bounce! I'll go do Tanker LOL!!

 

Cool, thanks! I'll think about it.
