Ok so i started my employment out of the allentown PA terminal... From the start of it i dident think it was going to be all that great.
The orientation was a long 2 days the teacher was pretty boring and the hotel I think they purposely put it in the most boring area of Allentown. I had a really cool room mate and class mates during orientation even though i was clearly the youngest dude there. Everything seemed like it was going to be a royal pain. But i have to say once I got assigned to a trainer things changed drastically. 2 days after orientation I got assigned to my trainer, Hes a very nice older gentlemen who has really been looking out for my best internist while out on the road, he corrects me when I screw up without scolding me for it He lets me put in as many hours as i want, He said since he is making money off my driving he buys me meals every now and than, I'm training on a brand new 2011 international prostar. I'm seeing a lot of the country and having a great time while doing so, I have to say thus far I have had a great, As i said the orientation could have been a little better as the computers were slow and the real challenge was keeping myself awake during it, than after the fact that i had to wake up at 5:45 in the morning just to check in to show that i was still there was a real pain (apparently a lot of people leave during orientation/ waiting for a trainer.)
Over all i have been having a great time and I'm learning a lot. I still have 150 hours to log but im having fun. im gad i got a good trainer
