DoubleYellow's Covenant Thrival Guide

These solos are not running hard IMHO. I am solo and run much more than that... Solo drivers in the GP account for instance, run much more too. But anyway, I hope your codriver comes back soon. July is a slow month??? I thought it was good... Jan and Feb are slow months.

 

Thinking about training? Boy, you are brave! I would say that to Dennis all the time.
You have to have some serious nerves of steel. I could not do it!
Saw a Covenant truck pulling Estes doubles today. We were behind him for some time.
That would be something to shoot for. We have all our endorsements too,
but Ron doesn't seem too interested in pulling doubles.
Well, we sure hope your codriver gets back soon. We are waiting on Breakdown to send someone to look at our truck. For some reason, the tanks are not building air pressure, just losing it.
We checked everything we could and there was no logical reason we could see, so we wait.

 

Whew! I certainly would not do it. Too dangerous!
I told Dennis (our trainer) just how brave he was for doing it.
But I must say, he told us about some of THOSE attitudes.
He just had them taken right off the truck and sent them home
if they refused to listen to Safety directions.
He yelled at me on a couple of occassions...and RIGHTfully so!
We learned to drive on flatland Florida, so I rolled back a couple times on the hills. I snapped right into shape on that one!

Oh that is funny! Constantly telling my husband that stuff with corrode your stomach lining!

 

Don't know... but it seems to me that you end up becoming a trainer at Covenant.

 

Dagnabbit double yellow! You have had a run of that crazy black cloud hovering overhead!! Sure do hope after this, hopefully the truck will run smooth and you can keep a steady pace. And I know you are anxiously awaiting your old team partner! Sure hope he gets back soon, so you can get back rolling hard during the good freight months.
Boy, with the inevitability of mechanical breakdowns and human error, it is a thing that one might note strongly in their mind when pondering this line of work. It requires the ability to adjust quickly on the many changes that come about daily. There are so many enlightening things that this forum can provide to an individual when thinking about making the big move into OTR.
Reading your posts, Ron and I both see your determination and the fact that you do embrace every aspect of your job.
For me? I love every challenging moment. It is in my blood.
And to think, last year this time? I didn't even know what a Fifth wheel was.

 

Hey Double Yellow, it was great to meet you too! What a pleasure. You are indeed a very nice gentleman.

 

I knew it!! Birds of a feather...I say.
