Start at McElroy on Monday!

Wow, 9 hours before you unload? Well I guess for the 10 hour break I presume. I'm sure I'll get it all figured out in due time. I'm tired of being in this hotel room, I'm ready to hit the ground running. I was proud of my wife today though, didn't cry or anything I was afraid of, or at least I didn't see it. Think it made her feel better that I'll be home on Friday, and she's a little more focused on getting out of her parents house and building our new one, haha

 

so if u had an 8 am delivery on mon morning you would need to be there by 9 pm sunday night so you would have to head out around 10 am sunday morning esp if your parked close by at a truck stop that would give you an hour to get to where ur parked at to your delivery would that be correct and that would have to be under 600 miles form your hometown wouldn't it

 

what is the average length of a single run with McElroy

 

kev is my post 312 somewhat half way right ? on the time im taking into account that I didn't park at the receiver but a truck stop close by and the time it takes to get from the truck stop to receiver

 

There was a couple times that I had to leave real early on Sun to get to my mon morning delivery. I think the earliest I ever left on sun was around 12 noon to be in little rock by 9 pm.

 

Well end of orientation day 3. I'm still here. I was very happy to get today out of the way. Stressed over that road test, didn't even get a refresher and straight to the road test. But it went fine, I got up through all the gears and back down without killing anyone. Then went back out for shift training, thought I did horrible, but the trainer said I did fine, said he was glad I thought I did horrible so I'll get better. I've never been to another trucking company before but from what I've read here, Mcelroy is top notch, if they don't care about you then they are very good at acting. Very pleased with my choice. However, this question is geared towards experienced drivers. How long til I feel good about my shifting skills, cause right now my butthole puckers shut when I start driving. I believe I've found the career I'm looking for but I just want to chill out, does it come with experience?

 

glad your happy with your choice wut was day 2 like hows is there physical how long are each days on what day do they offer you a job if they choose ya ? do they give you breaks thur out the day how many people are in each class
