Another new guy's story.....

sorry for taking so long to reply, been busy . we get paid by the trip, so no miles milking. he did all the hard driving, or was in the shotgun seat when he let me do the harder stuff. i didnt feel i needed him during regular interstate driving, so it was cool. just got back from my 4th trip and i've learned so much. still learning every day.

 

thanks for the concern.

 

sorry for abandoning the post. i've been running my rear end off getting these loads out. not much time left for my ttr family after spending time with my wife and youngun. but now I have a smartphone! so anyway, alls well on my end. lots of turning and burning, with very little sitting.
of th nine or so people I have kept tabs with from school ( the ones who actually found a job) I have driven more than double the miles than all but one, and he runs team with his dad, who is a totally independent owner op. and I still consistently drive at least a third more miles than him. and I mean actual times behind the wheel. I have a permanent co driver, and we have it worked out so that we can pick up in north carolina, drop in california, pick up in either california or arizona, deliver to landover maryland, and be home in nc all in roughly five days.
I feel I am getting alot of experience. did anyone else drive the "ice road" between dallas and sweetwater last week? I did. and yes I do feel that to be an accomplishment. AND I got to drive over donner's pass. anyway, I'll post some of my experiences when I get a chance to get to my pc.
