My adventures with Western Pacific Truck School Modesto CA

Thanks Punisher!!!
When I am called into work I will fill in the rest of the details.

 

Pulling doubles as your first job?
Sounds like a handful.
My instructor never bother to show us how to even hook up a set, let alone drive them.
Good luck with it.
I am finding out that turning corners with a 53' trailer is a lot harder than it looks, especially in traffic. Yikes.

 

I guess it would be. I see triples outside of Cal all the time. I am in Portland right now with 48,000lbs of flour to deliver tomorrow morning. Apparently people in Oregon love pancakes lol.

 

Smoothing out in the sense that I am figuring out their system for the most part. Every day I go somewhere I have never been, so it's very difficult at times. Took hwy 14 on the Wa side of the Columbia river all the way to Vancouver today.
2 lanes of twisting mountain road with these narrow little tunnels.
My arms are about to fall off.
Getting to know a lot of truck stops.
Not as bad as some people think.
At least not the ones I have been to.
Actually, it's kind of nice to have a place to just park and sleep after a long drive.
The showers have been better than I expected too.

 

I am getting about 400-500 mi per day now. Hope that keeps up. Nothing is worse than sitting at a terminal waiting for a load. Spent 4th of July at a mall in Denver waiting for a load. It was hotter than hell. Denver reminds me way too much of Sacramento. Dirtiest air I have ever seen. Horrible.
