    Hey FuelTankHank, what's your truck number and which terminal do you run out of? I'd assume Decatur but possibilities are endless.

    Hey Chainsaw, seen you Saturday on I40 TN mm112 or so. That Volvo sure stands out. Talked to you once before at Torrance CA while you were still dedicated from there. There's a FB group for us drivers you should check out. Just search for the obvious. I'm sure one of your FB buds is already in and can jump u in as well.

    Don't be eager to get out on your own. If you aren't well trained your likely going to bash this company like many others who tried it and hated it. Unloading is easy. everyone's biggest challenge is vac loading. And if your trainer is on a dedicated run.... you will only learn how to load that specific product so try and steer clear of the dedicated guy.
     
    D'nice and wsyrob Thank this.

    It's definitely a thinking man's job. Dozens of different products that each load differently. A few different types of trailers that add to the game. Best advice is to look, listen, ask questions. Take advice, don't just shrug it off. Act ####y word gets around you won't learn as much from other drivers.
     
    shanbone and D'nice Thank this.

    Its takes months to get the loading of different products and different trailers down pat. Even then u will have issues sometimes. You will overload many times when learning the ropes and will many times have to go back and put more on 3 times back to back lol.
