Trans Am Still

Hang in there Redneck I'm sure its going to be a lot better when u get your own truck. Seems strange that guy would carry on that way. Other than that is he a good trainer ? Are you getting to drive a lot ?

 

Has there been any training at all, or have you been running team from the beginning?

 

If you use the pillow over the face thing I don't think they can prove murder.

 

I used to be a merchant sailor and this older cat I sailed with taught me if I ever needed to drop someone over the side to make sure and roll down his zipper first that way it looks like he fell overboard takin a whiz. So redneck...can ya maybe find a boat?

 

Finished my drops today. Got two hours detention pay (4 hours overall) at my second stop plus a nap to boot. My last stop came off in less than an hour. No preplan this time (fleet leader was at lunch). Load picks up tomorrow so 50 bucks layover pay is mine. Pickup in Fitchburg MA, then Carlstadt NJ afterwards headed to Henderson NC, then home for a reset. Only 2302 miles last week. Must be losing my touch. C'est la vie.

 

Hang in there Redneck. This will all be a memory soon enough. On the last day I would drive on the rumble strips a few times and scream like the world is ending while he is sleeping. Maybe I'm just a little juvenile

 

It is one of the reasons I chose TransAm. Only 9 to 11 days out with a trainer. One of the lowest, if not THE lowest times you will have to spend with another dude inside a truck.

Good luck, I am sure you will do fine when you get solo.

 

Transam was too short for me. I did 275 hours with a mentor at Swift.

 

Do you all think 9 to 11 days is enough ? If I did it I would probably go with TA because I don't want to spend time with another guy in his truck.
Show me the basics and I think I can pick it up on my own just as good. I would like to get some mountain and weather driving in if at all possible along with the 9-11 days.i would think after 11 days I should be able to drive that thing around safely.
I also like the idea that TA approves you before you get there. I would hate to quit my job here in Korea and move home and then not have a job GRRRRRR. ,!!!!!!!

 

watkins shepard doesn't send you out with a trainer at all. You do a 10 day bootcamp or something like that then if u pass your final test off you go in your own truck. Unless it's changed the last couple of years.
