Trans Am Still

Congrats truckertravis and jay! We wish you both the very best of luck!

Jay you were extremely blessed to have our jaso as your trainer. You had someone that knows what he is doing and cared about your success .....there are many that are not so fortunate in their training.

I have been out of touch for the last week .....has anyone heard from jdmredneck or seen him online? I hope he is still doing well.

Great news, jaso! Happy for you!!

 

You know, that slightly sweet smell of ketchup, ain't so bad, unless your at a place making it. Almost turns the stomach.

This is for the new drivers, and is all about the backing. Almost got myself in trouble tonight. At a terrible set of docks, little lighting, and not much room. 2 things about backing you need to remember. It's all in the set up and NOT trying to force it in. There is no shame, in completely pulling out of the hole and resetting. It's a whole lot.easier than trying to force it in and maybe hitting someone. Yes..... I had to completely pull out and reset. It happens.

 

You don't have to go back and test out?

 

Just curious as to how many people use the fuel solutions

 

No sir we did that before we left we our trainers. We had a road test and 3 backing maneuvers

 

They must have changed that cause before we did the range stuff and went out with our trainers for 11 days and came back tested out then picked our trucks out so by all that time it was like Thursday or friday

 

All company drivers are supposed to use fuel and routing solution provided, L/O's have the option to do as they please.

 

As a company driver, we are bound to using them. Not complaining, but sometimes I get two fuel stops within 100 miles. That can be annoying. Especially when its cold or rainy.
