Calex Express....My New Home!

how big are the fridges in there and are all the trucks automatics

 

Couldn't tell ya about the refrigerators, but I know some of the new trucks are 10 speeds, I don't know how many or when they switched back.

 

I was supposed to go back on Monday but Mort called me today and said that the trucks aren't ready yet so I have to go up on Wednesday, I don't know what that means but, I'm happy I got my feet in the door.

 

I can imagine, when I was there the one mechanic was doing the road tests and he was telling me that it was busy and your truck was in there. He was saying that since I live in De I might get a "newer" truck but I don't know, I won't complain either way. I could try and get on a dedicated account they have here I guess, I'll find out when I talk to Mort.

 

hey it was great meeting you on wednesday John. after reading all the pages on here it didnt really leave that much for me to ask Mort about. I think the only thing that hasnt been asked yet is about a rider policy. i too recieved that phone call yesterday about orientation being moved to wednesday. I guess its always better to have a truck that has been fully checked out rather than a truck that was looked over. I always say good things come to those who wait. so here i sit in upstate NY waiting. Good thing i'm only 1.5 hrs away from the yard i guess. Just wanna get those miles. i'll be doing the local runs which is nice. now by local i found out, means maine to virginia. thats fine with me because it means i'm closer to home. i had ryan (mech) for my road test with one of the 2010 volvos. it drives & handles alot better than the freight shakers that i'm used to. Took me a few minutes to get used to it, but i eventually did. i think for starting off i'd rather have the older trucks anyways. they should have the major bugs worked out by now, & they are a bit bigger than the new ones. but hey, like i said it was great meeting you. I hope to meet up with you again one of these days & do a run together like you & gary have. i'll be down there on wednesday morning # 10 for my orientation. Till we meet again, drive safe & have a great weekend!!
