    Alright, week 2 is in the books. Got along great with my trainer Terry. He is a 3 million safe miles driver with a black cherry Freightliner that is decked out. Very nice man and passed along a great deal of information and had some great stories to boot! Ran with him for 4 days and then 2 by myself. Got 3200 miles in 6 days and lots of activity on a few of those days. By the time I was done I had 1 hour left on my 70. Still have lots more to learn and experience, but no worries, it will come. Time for a few days off and then back at it on Wednesday or Thursday.

    Drozzer99, how do you get dispatched and how are your appointment times? I'm still waiting on my phone call for an interview and was wondering how there logistics are there so far and web-based is determined as "activity" pay.

    Oh, don't know if you checked ( I know you said you wanted to get into Marcy because you live so close) but they have the hiring sign up at Johnstown. Check them out, be much closer than Toby.

    Well we are all dispatched from the ROC (Regional Operations Center). They dispatch according to your ETD's and as your times update as arrive and depart. Appointments, for the stores they are late in the afternoon and evenings. Most vendors are when you show up or dp/hk. Activity is arrivals, departs, drops, hooks, live unload/loads, sleeping, breakdowns, unscheduled time and of course miles. That help?:biggrin_25517:

    Its late, just got home and going to be now.:biggrin_25518:
