Yes they are. I've had zero issues bout home time so far. Ya understand taking extended home time after training. I wasn't sure how freight would be with holidays but I've been moving all week till today. Got "no load available" at 11:45am and #8 on list and here I sit but I expected it. Was hoping get another 700-1000 but I'm guessing I'm sitting till Monday morn. Get a reset in
Honestly not too good as far as my trainer's personality. He was basically an A___Hole and I could not wait to be done with him. I just kept trying to see the forest for the trees and kept reminding myself it was only temporary. One of the guys I went through school with and became friends with had a great experience. I think my guy was mostly in it for the extra money they make.
In my 2.5 weeks solo before Chjristmas I ended up with a 34 restart in Albany,GA. When I delivered my load early in the afternoon I arrived there I was #17 on the list. Woke up the next morning and was #7. Ended up with a load that night. I figured it would be somewhat slow around the holidays and not much of an issue if I took extra time off then.
That sucks. I had a great time but was definitely ready to get into my own truc . 2 men in a truck gets annoying quick lol. Unfor Ha imagine that stuck in Georgia. Worst place to get freight out of right now. Every time I've had to wait for a load since getting my own truck its been in GA .
School was in Richfield, WI. Driver trainer was from Georgia and I spent 98% of my driver training in the southeast.
