Well, I finally made it to Tunnel Hill......had to go get that load and bring it here....got in about 3:30 and have been talking with different people.
Ken said I would be getting a new truck....wonderful???.....someone said they didn't want to send me out with a trainee on my truck with it's current mileage....will know in the morning what I'm getting......if I get a Cascadia, I'll be taking the closet out because my fridge is 19" wide (just measured it...LOL)
Learned a lot of things from another driver that has been here for about 5 years...he told me how to float, how to set my 5th wheel and tandems so I don't have to mess with them very much, and other things that will help me and then I can pass that info on to my trainees.
I lasted about 2 hours out there on the smoker's bench, then had to come to the truck and run the AC before I passed out (don't sweat, just heat up). Going to get cooled down and then go back over and send in my paperwork so I get paid...YEAH!!!!
USX drivers...how's your day??

Sitting about 3 miles from home in my home town waiting to go pick up are load at 9 tonight. Had my wife drop me off here earlier. Had a good weekend with family and friends and today I topped it off by going down to where I used to work and had lunch with my ex boss and a couple of friends. It was a very nice day. Now its time to get the show on the road.

Thanks craig for the info. dang was hoping that igloo one would fit. Oh well ill cross that bridge when i get that far. lol
-
I didnt think the co. would let anyone thke anything like that out or loose from the trucks. Or are you just special lol. just kidding
-
congrats on finally getting there musicgal
musicgal Thanks this. -
I had talked to other drivers about how they took things apart so I knew it would be OK......just as long as you found a place on the truck to put the pieces...LOL......found out today that I will not have to put the closet back together...it's not that hard to do, just a little time consuming and it's like putting together a puzzle.
Got to sit in a new Cascadia tonight.....NICE!!!!!!!!! But I shall have to get creative in putting everything together. I'm glad they have the deck thingy that will sit between two trucks....will make it a lot easier to transfer things. -
Thats cool musicgal. Hopefuly ill know something tomorow. I may be back down there tomorow afternoon. Are you taking your trainer upgrad test while your there,or have you already done that?
-
I've got a quick ?. Is it ok to take these pro-tread leassons on my home pc while im waiting on my trainer, or do i have to wait till im on the truck?
-
I'll be in class on Thursday....don't know what I'm up against, but I'll find out...LOL
By all means, do them on your PC. I did all of mine on my laptop.....much easier than trying to do them on the truck.........hopefully you know which 7 you need to do.....I didn't know, my trainer didn't know, so I was just going down the list.......after sitting for a 34 and having done about 10 lessons, then we found out which ones I needed to do.....and, of course, I had only done 2 or 3 that I was supposed to do.Last edited: May 31, 2011
