Hang in there. I was in orientation with Tim. He was rather quiet and unsure. Give it a couple more students before call in it quits.

A lot of this industry comes by experience.JohnBoy Thanks this. -
I think what he was after was reminders of all the things he should check, remember, no matter how basic. Even pilots with thousands of hours go down a checklist every time
JohnBoy Thanks this. -
My grandfather was a military pilot for 25 or 30 years. He certainly had a list to follow. Similarly, before we do our route checking, verifying bols etc we already have a checklist. It is just so routine that after about a month on the road we have it memorized. It is just that-routine. You don't need a checklist to tell you to shower, or fuel, or whatever. It just gets done.
JohnBoy Thanks this. -
John, you do a great job, you should see how the industry has changed, this has become a job to new drivers, an easy way to make money. they aren't prepared for the realities of life over the road. you have no get away, and you hold a lot of responsibility. somehow, that is not being made clear to people who are looking to get into this. unfortunately, its not for everyone, and as a trainer you will see that first hand more often than others.
JohnBoy, The Challenger and UTurn1 Thank this. -
Psycoblue, I couldn't have said it better. Trucking is a lifestyle not a job. Unfortunately these new drivers don't see that.
The Challenger, Lonesome, psycoblue and 1 other person Thank this. -
Ok, I can honestly say, this load I'm under has give me a much needed break. By the time I get home on the 22nd I will have been gone 4 weeks, my choosing. I have something very important to do for 3 of those days that has been set up since my last hometime. I have a busy day today, after driving 250 miles yesterday, I have 325 to do today.....lol. Time for a shower, thanks for all the encouragement. Be safe and God Bless, and too all the moms, Happy Mothers Day!
Voyager1968 and jungHo Thank this.
