Yeah I ran by today. They did have a Freightshaker out there as well. Looked like Curtis was teaching but they looked busy so I did not stop.
Found out John Wade isn't there anymore. That is to bad he was a drivers dispatcher.

I worked with John Wade for a brief few months. He was my trainers dispatcher, so I requested to stick with him. I liked the way he let us cheery-pick our loads on Friday for the starting of the new week.
06driver Thanks this. -
I never had to pick. He knew I wanted shoes to Ridgefield, or Newell/Rubbermaid to Calexico. And he would trade off with other dems to get me one of those.firemedic2816 and DRAGON64 Thank this.

Yeah, mostly East coast, or straight up through Ohio into New York state etc. for me. I would have loved to have gone out west. My trainer and I only managed a single Dallas and an Oklahoma run during training.
firemedic2816 and 06driver Thank this. -
Yes and one Freightliner

UPDATE DAY 2
July 31
Actually got a little bit of sleep last night about 4 hours so that's good. Actually went to the store last night so I have some sustenance, woke up had a great breakfast, fixed lunch and went to class. Got there and my group of 3 was down one because classmate had to go take his Permit Test which he passed, he came back to class and we practiced straight line backing which is the easiest but most important to learn. Then we did a right sided off set which I'm a little rusty but with practice will get it. Also worked on Pre-Trip, coming along really well most of it is coming back from Millis, with some modifications things Ohio did that Tennessee doesn't. We broke for lunch, we had a chat session, I asked exactly how long we had to be with our trainer, I have had several different numbers. He said the entire training process is 8 weeks. We are in class for 4 weeks then with our trainer for 4 weeks. Which is going to be fast but exciting that I can provide a better life for my family sooner then I thought, which is super exciting.
After Lunch the instructor told the others in the class to continue pre-trip and backing, looked at me Hey Grab your paperwork we going driving?????? Wait WHAT??? Okay, so we got behind the wheel and down the road, only went 20 miles down the road but did it in "city" traffic which I really Struggled with while at Millis. Got back to the school and he said "Great Job, for first time driving for a while, take the SMALL Notes I gave you and you will do fine. I'll call it a win. Now sitting back in the apartment chilling take notes watch some driving videos catching up with favorite youtubers and going over Pre-Trip..
Thanks For Traveling with me.
