    If you feel like you don't need his help than I guess it's a good thing to just get it over with. Some people are fast learner's. Little experience to get in a groove. But if you feel like you need help with something that he is not showing you than let him know.
    Do your trip plan anyway. So what! Tell him you want the experience to learn how to trip plan. If you want to help me learn it great if not I'll just look it up and do it myself. Next time he tells you to do something you are not sure why ask him "why did I have to do that?, so I know for future reference so you don't have to tell me again.

    Landstar is the company that sends me a check, but Millis will always be my home. I'm a phone call away anytime you need help or someone to talk to. If I haven't given you my number yet, just ask. Nobody here will ever let you feel like you're in this alone. And you aren't. You're family now.
     
    dhellmer and Suspect Zero Thank this.

    You seem like a cool dude Steelersjunkie.when I get out there and we cross paths I'm buying you a drink or 2. But that's it, I'm cheap. Plus I don't drink, maybe a glass of wine at a restaurant.

    Meh, no need to buy me anything. I'd be happy just meeting you and shaking your hand. If you're Millis, I got time for you. Unless you're my trainer, or you're an a-hole lol. Whether I'm a cool guy or not kinda depends on perspective. Ask Mrs Junkie. Some days she views me as a cool guy, some days she wants to shoot me. Just depends on which way the wind is blowing I guess.

    Well man, this is all I can do to prep you for life with a trainer. Go to your closest major chain truck stop and look at the drivers filing in. It's not a pretty sight. But remember, it doesn't last forever. It'll feel like forever, but it's just a link in the chain of your new career. You'll have stories when it's over, that's a guarantee. But it comes, it goes, you keep moving. You got this covered man :)

    I will definitely be packing hand sanitizer and fabreeze. Maybe some of that stuff they use to rub under the nose just in case. What is that stuff anyway?

    If your trainer doesnt shower 1 phone call to Greg and something will change. Honestly cleanliness is probably the least of your worries.

    I'm somewhat of a germaphobe, also a little nervous about how well I will sleep in a moving truck. What about bunk sleep? Can't sleep in top bunk while moving so I'm guessing we share the bottom bed. I'm sleeping in passenger seat with seatbelt on. Can I do that?
