a new driver journey with Magnum Logistics in Fargo, ND

Ok day 2 ...just hung around iowa 80 all day. Day 3..the 3 deliveries were at a chain of feed stores. First 2 no problem but third one was a true test of patience, but I got it done. wow!! So we were supposed to go to St Louis to get a load of beer at 6pm. Not gonna be ready yet sowe go to a truck stop near st louis and shut down and enjoy a nice dinner.
Day 4 we go to get beer but it is overweight so we end up waiting over 2 hours for the guy on the forklift to unload the whole truck and add spacers at the front and leave a few kegs off to be under 80k. We got that delivered to the terminal in coon rapids and now we are leaving early mrning headed for new jersey

 

Made the delivery in New Jersey early and got a load going to Wisconsin, light load too. I added it up and i have driven 1700 milesin the last 3 days, not bad for first time on the road, all in all miles for the week will be in the 3400 mile range that I drove. Already have next load for Monday pick up too.

 

Happy to help anyone new like myself tryingto figure out where to go work. Be patient it is worth the wait

 

I worked in retail my whole life and this is my 4th job i have ever had and like you dont like changing jobs

 

So far really good but it will be nice to be on my own. I am a non smoker training with a smoker (i didn't want to wait 2 more weeks for a non smoking trainer). Last week well over 3000 miles and this week probably the same. In coon rapids Minnesota now and have a load in morning going to San Antonio texas and then to new jersey after that
