I'm just stressed about doing extra board. Being gone and everything. On top of that their giving me a sleeper truck. I've never done doubles before and now I have too hook em up and use a sleeper. I haven't used a sleeper truck since trucking school in 2015
Estes express lines, Buffalo NY. How is the Extra board?

I stepped out of the truck for nearly 10 years to take a bulk sales job at coke.
When the company car and attainable bonuses went away I jumped back in the drivers seat.
Did I make a fool of myself for a day or so? You bet I did and I still do from time to time but I knew I could do it and so can you.
Monday night you’re gonna strap into a white estes sleeper truck and you’ll be fine just take your time and move that freight safely from one terminal to the next. You’re not about to assume the command of a nuclear submarine and its crew you’re driving a truck man.
If you’re not comfortable backing a dolly with a sleeper use your key and grab a single axle to spot your dolly until you’re comfortable doing it.
Once you get to Toledo or WestEx and see the jockeys banging sets together with the dolly attached to the lead I would hope you’ll realize you can back that dolly up behind a tractor without much trouble. Just get in that truck and do it.Last edited: Apr 22, 2021

I'm just extremely stressed cause it's been so long. Then on top of that I slept maybe 5 hours today. I have to go with someone at 8 tonight. Idk how I'm going to stay awake. Maybe I made a mistake -

Do you know what schedule you have yet. Meaning what day of the week will you be starting?
-
No, said I'm training with people for three days then I guess I'll have two days off or something like that then get into it. He mentioned something about an xboard that you only gone twice a week. I might do that. Just wasn't sure if the money was really bad doing that. I know it's two cents less then extra board.
