    Your first job is just to learn. Trans Am is a reefer company so you will see a lot of Tyson to Walmart runs. When winter gets here make sure you add your additives to your diesel. Lots of money gets wasted with frozen fuel filters. Ask questions, lots of questions.

    Company. I know nothing about the industry or business. I just barely know how to drive.

    Theyve got settelite tv. I am really jelous of that. I dont know how they pay, but theyve got everything on theit truck. Unlike some other shiity compsnies, wont even allow you to have an inverter.

    Allow me to look into the future to your first day solo:

    "Dear Diary,

    Today I got passed by a Prime truck. And a Swift truck. And almost everything else with 1 or more wheels. I did give a May truck a run for its money... but he lost me on the hills. A Stevens truck rode me for 200 miles until he exited, but he didn't pass me!!!11!~~~!!!"

    Just ribbing ya :)

    Satellite radio (you have to pay for that yourself, but I can handle that), Satellite tv with HBO and NFL Sunday Ticket and a DVR, refrigerator, cb and an inverter. 96" condo cab that a guy 6'4" can stand all the way up in and to top it all off it's a KW. Pay sucks as all your second tier companies do but I'll be very comfortable while I rack up the time and miles it'll take to be hired by a top tier, well paying company.
