Hey guys, a little update for those of you following my thread. Right now I'm in Richfield WI, I went straight from Orientation to on the road w/ my trainer. The program is quite intense, although I guess it depends on who your trainer is. My trainer is pretty intense, he runs the miles, oh and for those of you who keep asking about the miles, they're there. My trainer just did 3800 this week, and the most we've sat is a couple of hours. However I must say I think it really depends on your work ethic. We usually do our 11 hours of drive time then take our 10 hours and we're back on the road. Like my trainer says if the wheels aren't spinning I ain't making no money. U'll run into guys at the terminals that like to complain, but I guess a lot has to do on how you see the glass, half empty or half full. The days go by sooooo fast, most of the time I don't know how many days have past by, sometimes 3 days feel like 1 day. It's been a great adventure so far and I think it's only gonna get better.
Hey guys, Just wanted to give you guys an update, I know its been a really long time. I took my Exam today In IL, West Chicago location. I passed my pretrip but I failed my skills test. I was supposed to stop in b/w the yellow and white line w/o going over the white line, I like an idiot thought I was supposed to stop before the lines and that resulted in an automatic failure. So I will be retesting sometimes after the Holidays. Shout out to those of you in Trenton!
Quick update from my side of things, I left with my trainer right after orientation on Nov. 17th. We've been everywhere from New York, to California. I think we've put 22k miles on the truck, since i got in. Other than waiting a day and a half on a load out of LA, and a few days when the truck was at a kenworth dealer getting fixed, not alot of downtime. Got home last night to take my CDL test today, but the test gets canceled due to some freezing rain in the morning here in northern indiana. So instead of testing out and getting on my own by the end of the week. I'll be home for the holidays. Rescheduled the CDL exam for next week, using their equipment. So I'll have that knocked out when my trainer picks me up after the new year, and we can do the 34th and 35th day of training. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there. Be Safe.
