AAA Cooper

@Matt1924 I'm glad things are working out on your end, especially you being a combo driver you get to work your trailer the way you want to. Another perk is no matter what; you going to get your hours so thats a blessing brother. As far as the paperwork give it some time you be proficient soon.

Also since you might get downtown, I went to pick up a pup in a narrow street along with trees

 

That looks fun! Yep, today we’re downtown with streets like that in a twin-screw hooked up to a 48’ w/ a lift gate. Sure wish I had that single axle, but being low guy, I get the leftovers haha! Taking our lunch break now been a rough morning but making do. 5 stops to go and then about the same in pickups hopefully will get them all done today. I’m sitting at about 49 hrs for the week right now so yep, I’m getting those hrs. And be safe out there!

 

Whats up fellas hope yall doing good. @Matt1924 how you looking so far; hope you getting good hours brother. @Kstrong86 man Im glad your running I10 in my humble opinion is more relaxed. @88 Alpha hope you doing good and getting good miles and hopefully something opens up in the LTL side so you can join us putting more miles backing up.

Yall be safe fellas.

 

Oh yeah. Put in about 63hrs this week. Got the good news when I got back at the terminal this afternoon that I've been approved to begin my own route. I'm looking forward to really getting out there. I have made it abundantly clear to all the guys that I've ridden with that I come from a majority flatbed background so my backing skills are not par with what theirs is, but my goal is to not damage anything- and I'll always complete the task safely. That's the best I can do. Thanks for the encouragement from each of you, it has been an intense month or so in getting this ball rolling. Next week and beyond is when I'll really see if I can handle this stuff. I enjoy all the stops and the interacting with many different people each day, that is the true highlight. The work itself is just about the easiest I've ever done, I only have a handful of places that we've been to where I've had to break pallets down and even then it was not that much work.

I look forward to logging on and seeing what you guys are up to and reading the status updates. Please keep them and those pics rolling in! I'll see if I can't sometime next week snap a photo of my new sweet old ride humping a loaded trailer, ha!

 

@Matt1924 im glad they going to give you a route brother; hope you can share a photo soon of the places you go to and your assigned ride brother. Its nice to hear you making hours brother, as I wrote on a earlier post AAA has the hours Ive seen them rolling late out here in Houston. Have a bless weekend fellas we will catch up next week.

 

Whats up fellas hope you had a good weekend, @Kstrong86 this is the week where you going to be rolling on I 10 right. @Matt1924 how you looking this monday, how many stops and pick ups you were given today. @88 Alpha where they you going today. @Matt1924 this is what you need for your downtown route.
