DrtyDiesel... Back to Local Work

Yeah my trainer went over with me today about being honest on any mistakes. Not to lie, because id get fired in a heart beat.

Also i have a decent LED flashlight and also the LED strip that slips on the bill of a hat. They work quite nice and I appreciate the info.

Also, I found out a few nights ago that sticking a tank while its raining makes it VERY difficult to read!

 

Thanks for the info!

Unfortunate I cant get any extra hoses due to budget costs and stuff, they dont have extras laying around. Although I'll be sure to take note of everything else. I take a duffel bag with me to work every day with some stuff in it, paperwork and such. I can easily put some tools and duct tape inside.

 

Also, I passed my check ride today, the other trainer said I'll do just fine here. I'm pretty happy about that!

I'll be on my own tomorrow, I'm excited and nervous at the same time but I'm confident I'll do fine

 

Completed my first night shift, worked 5pm-4am. Had 2 split loads tonight, 4 stores.

Everything went great and I'm looking forward to working tonight. I love this job!

 

I couldnt imagine man, Yeah we get paid extra for splits so Im happy to do them. Had two loads, both spilts tonight, both long loads (Distance wise). Got it all done in 10 hours, proud of that for sure.


And its not always sunny here lol, last few nights and especially tonight it has gotten down in the 30's, i know thats nothing for yall lol, but for us its one heck of a chill haha

 

Haven't posted much lately. I've been busy running my butt off lol.

So far my paychecks have been more than expected for the work I did. Tomorrow is payday and I still have some left over from last paycheck which isn't normal for me, or hasn't been normal for me for the last year.

I now have an assigned truck, I share it with a day shift driver. He's a great guy and we both like to keep the truck clean so it works out perfect. I work 4pm-4am. I love this shift and I get off early most mornings.

Driving from Hawthorne to jax and back every day is 140 miles round trip. I'm going to start staying a few days in jax with my parents at their place so I can save money on gas.

Here's the truck, if it will attach the picture correctly
