stepping up

Hey everyone, im pitstop. I started out as a welder hated it. moved on to heavy equipment operator,but the bottom fell out of that market in my area. so here i am, going over the road. recent graduate of mtc trucking school out of st louis. loved the instructers, but the office personell are a friggin joke. (Imho) unfortunatly ill be startig with covenant monday morning. wanted to run a flat bed, still do, however i have a minor issue on my mvr. this meaning covenant was the only company that would take me on till april. anyways any advice, encouragments, or tips is greatly appreciated. id also like to know of any experiance with covenant? The ussual pay, trainers, ect. Well thanks in advance be safe and ill be seeing ya.

 

Thanks dy i have been reading alot of the post. im excited and a bit nervous. dry van isnt where i want to be but hey experiance is experiance. ive talked to many dtivers that reccomend i get experiance in all models, flat, dry van, tanker, etc, in my first few years make a decision on what i liked best and go from there. i eventually hope to own my own truck ome day you know the american dream. but thats for years to come

 

Well im on the greyhound chattanooga bound 2 switches with 4 hours of layover time this shoukd be fun. im about as prepared as i can be. with a lot of thanks to all the ppl here that have posted great advise

 

Well orientation is over. passed all my test, on the truck with a trainer he seems to be a real good guy. ended up witha second student in the truck. but so far all is going great moved our first load today, just a trailer move maybe 10 miles so i guess the race is on for my 35 segments. hopefully time will continue to fly by. with no or minor difficulties. yall be good now night night time.
