    Just what he said...in my experience I had a belly unload...so it wasn't bad...but it does hit you pretty hard...but since it's so thick it really doesn't move as much....but while u shifting it will keep the rpm at a minimum when the resin shifts to the rear

    Made a delivery this morning in Iowa City, Iowa took about 2 hours to pump off... then took the empty to Markham and picked up a loaded headed for Hartwell, Georgia. I am getting use to the surge as far as stopping and shifting. I think I will be heading out with a new trainer after this week but I may be local next week. So far the training is going great and I am very happy to be on with Superior. I will update soon.

    Congratulations for being hired-on at Superior Carriers.

    It sounds like it has been going well, so far. Any updates?

    How has the food been since you've started?
    You gave a few of us a meal program just before graduation.
    Do you think it could be continued OTR during company training?

    You started your plan months ago. I've only been at it for a couple of weeks. I've had great results; and I'd like to keep at it. Thanks for that!

    Best of luck and continued success,

    Thank you! Yes things are going well with Superior I am very happy with the training and the company in general. We left Monday dropped a load in Spartanburg and then waited about 2 hours to be loaded. We then left headed to Lima, Oh. We stopped last night about 10pm in Cincinnati getting ready to leave in a few for our 11am delivery.
    It will be a little difficult to follow the diet 100% during training but you can still make healthy choices OTR. First thing is continue to drink only water don't want to start the soda drinking. In 3 weeks OTR I have gained about 1 pound. Once I get my own truck I will bring my own food etc. And by doing that it will save money at truck stops and keep me eating healthy.
    Best of luck to you and hopefully I will see you at graduation.

    Does Gatorade count as 'water'? j/k
    Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend graduation.
    Fortunately, I'll be at orientation in Ohio.
    Thanks for the update.
    Stay safe and keep everyone posted.

    Glad to hear things are going well. It's gets even better once you are out on your own.

    Awesome, best of luck to you...

    Things are going great the training is excellent and I couldn't be happier with Superior Carriers. Pay during training is 100 per day but once you are out on your own you get paid the same as everyone else .47 loaded and .40 empty plus hourly pays etc.

    I am currently at the company hotel in High Point, NC started out Sat with a run to Webster NY then over to Springfield, MA then to Roanoke Rapids, NC. I will probably be getting a reset tomorrow.

    I am getting anxious to get out on my own and make more than the 100 per day. I will try to update more often.
     
    GearWarrant Thanks this.
