New Trainee at May Trucking

well, spent most of the day here at Jubits truck stop in Oregon, picking up a load for aurora, CO tomorrow morning ^.^
Think the weather isn't going to be very cooperative so my last run might be a bit rough lol but I can't wait to get back home and test! (and hopefully have the bottom bunk on my next run haha)
nite all

 

lol
you know what I mean! altho I do have to say being out here with the trainer isn't as bad as I thought it would be. when i first looked into driving i was like "unless its someone I know I dont see how people do teams", you get used to the other person being there, of course with a trainer is different (I would think) and they are up when you are, but now I think when I get into my own truck It might be weird not having that other person there.

 

yes, thats him. we have a 1am drop monday morning, we will actually be at the denver yard tomorrow early, then get at least an 8 hr break in to stop our clock so we can get to king stupids at 1 (tho we have to be there early, cause we have to find out if we have to write a comcheck for a lumper and our computers go down at midnight or something?) monday he is planning on just going over some stuff in the yard with me and chaining since we haven't had to do it yet. I've done it before at school and in orientation (but that wheel wasn't attached to a truck lol)

it seems the closer we get to denver, the more i'm starting to mess up again, missing gears, grinding like crazy, I don't know whats going on. for a few days there I wasn't missing anything and now yesterday and today its like everything just flew out of my head and I've never been in a truck before

 

see thats what I want, long runs. how long do they give you on a run like that? I hope I dont have to come back out west when I go solo ( I mean not right away lol, I've spent the last 3 weeks in OR, CA, WA so I want to visit the other side)

 

yeah I'm from NY originally, live in denver now but theres nothing holding me there except there not being a terminal on the east coast lol. the short runs out here, and the time waiting adds up, or thats how it seems anyway. one more day! and back home anyway lol I still have to test >.<
