Gary Indiana Bound - Flatbed Orientation

After orientation in Gary they will fly me to Phoenix to meet up with my trainer. I did learn to drive in winter conditions in Up-state NY when I started driving long ago. Still do it a few times a year. I am glad I will be going with trainer in January so he can give me good tips on winter driving.

 

Finished first day of orientation. Hair test, pee test and physical fittness test in the morning. Class all afternoon. Fittness test was was not worth the worry over it! Tomorrow we start with load securement. But for now on to lots of homework for the evening.

 

Day two was in the class room in the AM learning Roehl saftey. Then after lunch (which they provide) we did some driving and learning the Roehl way of shifting. Next was some 45 degree alley docking. Nice to finally get in the trucks...Guess we're going to terrorize Gary,IN tomorrow as we are out on the streets driving!!

 

Basically, some pull,push and lateral pull downs at various weights, ladder climb, balance beam, squats, and a few more. They monitor your heart rate to make sure it doesn't go above the limit for your age. There are links to the exercises in a couple of the other threads.

 

You'r not kidding on the homework o Going to be a long night. I'm just glad to make the go or stay cut on Fridays.

 

Hurray!! Guess I'm a Roehl employee as of tomorrow moring. Got my badge and all the other cards today. Guess they will tell me tomorrow about meeting up with my trainer in Phoenix. On to Phase Two now.....
