Centurion Transport....Jacksonville, FL

I'll see you guys in April. Took my roadtest and had my interview with HR and safety and even got to hang out on the yard for about two hours with the guys in training. It's a lot less intimidating when you're up close to it. I'm pretty pumped. How's it going for the rest of you guys?>

 

I'll give some free advice...Watch and Listen

 

I'm guessing you were on the road the day I was down there. I met Anthony and Will and two other dudes who's names I didn't get. It definitely seems like it will be a constant learning curve, just like my current job (flatbedding) and what I did in the army (hauled tanks and ####) so hopefully I'm good in terms of picking up stuff. It seems like he will let you get yourself into trouble to help you figure out ways to get out of it or prevent it from happening in the first place. One thing I can say is, that little white saturn is a ####### piece!

 

Were you by chance in the peterbilt that had the broken ramps that came down from Princeton? Edit: Judging by your name I'm thinking that wasn't you. My only REAL question that I'm honestly concerned about is, am I going to be safe at night when I go to sleep? I've noticed they're not in the friendliest part of Jacksonville.

 

Hell yeah dude! I was the guy with the tattoos who came out last Monday from Georgia. I thought you said your name was something else that's why Jeff didn't ring a bell to me. I'm just looking forward to get going. Is it everything you've expected it to be so far as far as the level of training and everything?

 

Yeah, what ^he said!!!


While confidence is good (we say that good carhaulers are egotistical ######## in one carhaul group, cause it fits,) I think you going to find the learning curve is a tad steeper than you're expecting. Even the guys it comes easiest to, with very high-level spatial skills, are barely proficient at 6 weeks. At 12 weeks, I can usually see the curve really flattening out, and the light bulbs lighting up, and the time-wasting hair-brained ideas slacking off. That's when it's fun to send someone who's been on new cars out on mixed used load to remind them they have a ways to go, yet!

Good luck to ya!

 

Thanks bud. Jeff, did you get paid for orientation week? And are they working on the weekends or is it a monday-friday thing? I'm wondering if they'll let you come in on the weekends or not if it is.
