    Orientation was a drag. Basically I was told what would get me canned mixed in with a
    drivers test and safety classes.
    Its real simple; speed you fired, get in an accident your fired, screw up log books your fired,
    get a dot violation your fired. F' in brutal!

    Lots of miles.....I am pushing 4000 so far.

    Morning boys! another state to add to the list. This morning
    has me backing to a blind alley dock at sears in Kilmarnock, VA
    Just east of West Point. Left Wilkes Barre, PA around 1:30 AM and
    landed here about an hour ago. This is a 3 stop load and will end up
    in Richmond Swift terminal for a well needed shower.

    I spent some time practicing angle back in Wilkes Barre. The upper
    lot is for the Swift trailer drops. Real world is different than school.
    Much tighter locations and always with hidden obstacles....cars, posts, light poles etc.

    Updates to follow
