New Driver with Henderson

First day so far has been filling out tax paperwork, paper application, and doing physicals. Showing me just how out of shape I am. Will definitely be adding a exercise routine to my schedule once I get on the road. Heck probably start a little something while still in my hotel...

 

Ok, so I ran into problems on the road test. Basically, I suck at shifting a new, tight transmission. The tester recommended I spend time with a trainer and retest in a few weeks whenever he says I'm ready. I'll have to find out tomorrow exactly how this will work out as far as pay and such goes. Will I be making a livable wage during this time? Etc etc. I'm fairly bummed about this development. I'd always been good driving and shifting the trucks at school, but they had considerably more miles than the 1 yr old rig I drove today.

 

No orientation pay. Pay during training should be on the website, I think. Miles can vary.

 

I was told trainees average around 700 per week.

 

Is this Evelyn?

 

So, I'll be heading out with my trainer tomorrow most likely. Looking forward to getting on the road, hoping to get home at lest a couple days a month, so we'll see how it all works out.
