Trans Am Still

Don't believe that for one minute. Abilene knows exactly where I was born and raised, but yet for the last 2 winters I have been in every inch of Wyoming delivering freight in every type of winter condition it can throw at me. Watch what you ask for, you might be out there in 50mph winds on snow/ice covered roads just trying to get to the PNW, just to chain up in order to get over Cabbage. Me's rather go to Hunts Point...just sayin.

 

Oh boy, I'm at the Pilot in Albany, GA and the lit lizards and panhandlers and other creatures of the night are starting to come out!

 

Yeah the snow can stay up north. Everyone down here doesn't know how to drive in the rain let along snow and ice. Don't need any more stress on Travis

 

Cranky is back to being cranky

 

At the petro in kingdom city, mo...kind of looks like ta yard around here...635 miles today with 750 left between now and Tuesday 5 am delivery..then off to Greely. ..

 

Training. ..there's no stinking training. ..lol.. I had a pretty good trainer when I first worked here..let me do everything back, treq, paperwork, unless we were running behind or it was a load that needed to be teamed

 

It will be nice when you can pick up Avett and have your co-pilot back on the truck!


George, JohnBoy and Pete are right......Hunts Point is safe once you are inside the gate. Knowing that you have a safe place for overnight parking means that you can pick and choose the best time to go in there. I have retired my TransAm notebooks so .....don't you have to pay cash for the gate fee? Be prepared just in case.

jaso, you touched on some of the main issues and problems that we have all had with the way TransAm handles and treats their drivers, lease and company. It is almost as if you are an indentured servant ....I used to think of it as an apprenticeship but when they don't care what kind of a trainer their new drivers have and everything has to be learned on your own, you are just a servant putting in time. There are good trainers there, the King was lucky with one of his, and I know that you have made a difference for the students you have had. They desperately need to learn from their good trainers and develop a standard for training. I hope the drivers that you have trained know how truly fortunate they are!

travis, I am glad that today was a better day for you!
