First Week Down

I think it really sunk in like you say, when I was packing for my first time. Thinking about being gone for so long and the wife being here all alone. It's the hardest part of all of it. Just have to make the sacrifice for now.

 

On my last day of orientation when they handed me the keys to my very own Freightliner lol


American Trucker

 

Right about the first time my instructor told me to take the onramp to the interstate. I almost wet myself, I was so scared...

 

A little over a year ago, I was with my first trainer and like you I about wet myself, but, I was getting off of the interstate and came on the off ramp a little HOT and well it was a hairpin and well let's just say I had to stand on the brakes to keep from putting it on it's side....I did indeed learn from that though and am a better driver because of it...

 

When I got my first paycheck. I was like WTF is this #### ####### ### ####### #### #### #### ####

 

I QUIT MY FACTORY JOB FOR THIS!!!!

 

13 years at Boeing. Making $32 an hour when I quit, and that's no BS LMAOOOOOOO

 

Its good you are thinking of the wife, lots of guys don't and just use use the job as a way to escape being a father and husband because they dont want to deal with it. Stay safe.

 

lol oh i can so picture that. i felt the same way.
