hey wedge, good to hear you got a good trainer and are having a good time out there.
How'd you like the furniture? did you have to unload it?

i dont know about USX but usually a super single is kinda like a team, it's 1.5 drivers. We have some here at W/S. I solo driver can do 700 +/- miles a day, a team can do 1400 +/- and super single is dispached to run 1000-1200 miles a day.

I have a great trainer this time. He's patient and a 17 year veteran, so he has plenty of knowledge to share. Once I get past the first 75 hours of training, we'll be splitting the driving up in what they call "Super Solo" so I'll have more time to get on here and update. For now he spends all of the time in the jump seat where I would prefer him to be at the beginning. There's way too much to learn in a short span of time.chompi Thanks this. -

I'll have more time to post once I reach that point. Right now I'm running my full 11 hours each day, so free time is not in great supply.
Oh....and my trainer doesn't run in the northeast, so our coffee date will have to wait until I go solo.Sorry, Sammycat.
sammycat Thanks this.
