Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

Well I wrap up road training today. Drove almost 8,000 miles during training and covered numerous states. I've had a blast and learned so much. Looking forward to testing out and getting my own truck. See you all on the road!

 

Mad it home last night (Friday night) around 6pm- as usual. Will be nice to have an extra day at home this weekend. Everyone enjoy it!

 

Current drivers...what should I pack to go to orientation clothing wise? Thank you ahead of time

 

Is that al? I thought you guys got more driving in than that. My friend trains at Prime. Students dont solo there till they have a minimum of 30000 mi. It used to be 60000!!!

 

I would rather tarp a load in a hundred degrees then go to food warehouse!!!
My favorite saying is if you can eat it I will not haul it.

Wish you the best in the #### reefer division. I wish they would make you guys Park in your own section at the yards. I've said it once had said 1 million times I never thought I'd work for company that would have reefers in the yard.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate reefer drivers. I am glad there are guys that are willing to do it. But please just don't park next to me. LOL

 

See...there really is more to it than you thought.

 

Delivered down in Texas. Thought I'd get a lumbar load but no got sent down to Shreveport and picked up a load coils going to Missouri. Got to run up 65 through Arkansas just got to love that road. Then I reloaded out of Mexico Missouri going back to Conway Arkansas. So I get to run 65 again lucky me. Did a reset at Little Rock. Delivered Monday then reloaded out of Russellville going up to reading PA. Nice long run on the way up my left rear tail light bracket broke off. Stopped at the Freightliner dealer in Jackson Mississippi to get it fixed. They didn't have a new one so they ended up making one came out pretty good.
But do the delay I ended up delivery Thursday which was the day I was supposed to deliver was planning to deliver a day early. Reloaded out a choke a chicken going to Michigan delivered their Friday.
Then got to deadhead home and reload Tuesday morning. Nice 2600 mile week.

Have a great holiday weekend, drive safe and enjoy the ride.

 

Good luck, and welcome aboard, to all the new drivers.
