    training done. my trainer was pretty cool, wasnt a very good trainer though, lol. did many no no things, but i wont do them myself. i get on my own truck tomorrow. only downside is that i have a rand mcnally that does not want to pick up a gps signal. and i'm going out on my maiden voyage tomorrow. wont have it on me as i have to send it in for repairs i'm pretty sure. (sorry for no caps, have a sleep study contraption on and it has a heart beat monitor on my left index finger, so kinda hard to hit that shift key.)

    So you won't have to team for 8 weeks?? If not why because I was told I had to team after training..

    I do have to team yes. But since I came over with my team mate I'm going solo for 2 weeks until he's done with his training then I will pick him up.

    That makes zero sense, Teaming with another driver after you've done 2 weeks Solo?? Where is the thinking in that!??!

    Don't ask me, lol. But our plan was to team in the first place. They need freight moved so rather have wheels turning. It woukd have been worse to either team with a random person for 2 weeks then my partner.

    They coukd have had me sit until he was ready or have freight moved. Cuz I honestly woulda gone to a diff company if they made me team with someone else.
