Got my trainer yesterday, we head out this morning.
Spent a few hours last night getting refamiliarized with driving and backing in a big truck.
Like riding a bike.

Got right on it yesterday and took our first load up to PA. Lookin for a new one now.
warrior81 Thanks this. -
So, two days into my refresher, I am already about ten percent done with my required miles, on only two trips.
superpet39, Lonesome and BigJayDragon Thank this. -
Just jammin these runs out, lot of miles so far, mostly repowers. Spent a lot of time so far between Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Trainer is cool, but seems to not get along we'll with dispatch.
-
Sounding good so far...knockin' down the miles is the most important. From what I've read, your trainers dispatch becomes your dispatch...that true?
-
I guess so. He's cool with me though. As of tomorrow, I'll be just shy of 20% done. Got a load from Pennsylvania going down to Miami.

BigJayDragon Thanks this.

I've been reading on Trucker's Report about some bad Prime experiences. Being "forced" or coerced into Owner/Leases. "If you want more home time: gotta get a lease". "Want longer runs? Gotta get a lease." "Want more drop-and-ship? Gotta get a lease." I know some people are just whiney, so I don't take anything at face value...just curious what your experiences seem to be with the trainers...they encouraging you into the lease thing? So they get the bonus?
BigJayDragon Thanks this. -
Only a few lessees have encouraged it. Most folks, including my trainer, have advised against it.
Boy Howdey, quetzalcoatl, Trucking Newbie 514 and 1 other person Thank this. -
