Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

Temperature Controlled Division (Refrigerated/Reefer)

 

Funny! I had similar thoughts running through my head too! LOL

 

PROBLEM SOLVED! . . . . But I give it one day before you have multiple bungee punctures

 

I know a real easy fix to the heat issues. Drink water & throw in a gatorade every now & then. And that's all day, everyday. Take breaks. Especially if you are tarping. And if your FM is getting on your case about running out of time to make the del? Tell them to F off. It's your butt on the line in this heat & it's your life. I have been drinched with sweat like I had crawled out of a pool at 1am before. And with my tour in Iraq as an CLS (EMT-IV), I know all about the heat & what it can do.

 

I got dehydrated in 29Palms once....ooo, very bad. That WAS NOT FUN. Never again!!

 

I have been approved and I am heading to Little Rock whenever they can squeeze me in to train for TCD. I am female, 52, 5.8 145lbs. I am far from an Amazon women...? (not meant to offend anyone) I am really scared that I will not pass the physical part of orientation? I put 80 lbs in a box at home and lifted it up on to a 5 feet railing. It took ALL I had to do this!
I can climb, no problem. My health is great. I have no BP or heart issues or drug problems. I can even wrestle a tarp up on the back deck...my way using the step and my knees..lol
Am I getting scared and worked up over nothing? Can someone give me some input on the physical test? I do not want to get there and fail. I desire to drive for maverick more than anywhere else..!! Also, any female Maverick drivers on this site that have done the physical? Thanks in advance for the information.

 

Hey mickey. I am in the second week of orientation. Send me a private message i could talk ya through it.
