PRIME Drivers... What's your 20? (2)

Cheyenne WY

 

TA San Antonio Tx.

 

We hit Twin Falls yesterday morning.

Just pulled out of Boise 02, heading for Spokane.

Trainee believes he is ready for his own truck, so have him "trying" to complete this 3 stop load as solo, completely on his own. It is very doable, and typical of what he will see on his own. If ready, it should be as if I wasn't even in truck, except for any big problem.

Afterwards, we will reconcile our separate viewpoints as to IF he is really ready. I'm not convinced he is, so this is his chance to show he at least has it down well enough to go on his own. I certainly hope he does well. If he doesn't, hopefully he will realize that from actual experience. My philosophy is, if you can't run the truck WITH me in it as backup, you certainly cannot run it by yourself. You probably need more time.

Heading for WA. Good lord, I hope I don't wake up in Mexico!

Then again, it WOULD be warmer down there. LOL

 

I appreciate your perspective and methods.
I hope he is able to take advantage of the opportunity your giving him.

 

Mississippi. Then off to Georgia and will probably reset there somewhere. Maybe they'll send me somewhere cooler after that!

 

There was supposed to be a rest area here but there isn't, and clock is at zero. That'll teach me to run the clock bone dry.

Wyoming/Kansas state line, parked like a superdork, I mean trucker.

 

We made it! LOL

Spokane, WA waiting on our 03 & 90 appts tomorrow.

 

Congrats! You will do well.

 

In my experience when it rains it pours. Meaning when one thing goes majorly wrong on a load such as being over gross, everything goes wrong and you wind up with a problem load.

It happens from time to time, we just do what we can to legally run the load and move on to the next one. As you as notice that first major problem perk your ears up so to speak. Check that seal matches bol's, check addresses, brace the load, check temps, check every thing, cross all t's and dot all I's.

Hope you it off.

 

It's not Mexico you're going to wake up in, eh.
