BTC Flat

no OTR experience i've only driven locally on a B license. i will buy a truck but i wanna go out on the road for a couple years to make sure i can pull good miles, be efficient, learn the ropes out there cuz i'm sure its way different then local work. when the time comes i plan on refinancing my house and i'll buy a truck then.


and mike congrats, keep me updated like i said because i will definitely try and get on with BTC when i do upgrade to the A license. they seem to pay pretty good for o/o so if i get on as a company transitioning to to an o/o with them wouldn't be very difficult.

 

I will. I might not sleep tonight I am soooo exited. lol...

I am definitely getting a plane ticket instead of riding a GreyHound for 22 hours. omg...

Let's see... 3 hours flight time, 1 hour layover in Atlanta...

.............. 22 hours ride time with 2 transfers, one in Chicago, and one in BFE.

 

i think i'd go a little mentally insane after a 22 hour bus ride. plane right is definitely the better choice haha.

 

So Ram,

Its been a week........are you out with your BTC trainer? I hope all is going well.

 

Thats one road you dont want to drop your trailer off of, as the you and the truck will go with it! Good job on graduating at the top of your class!
I think Maverick will be a good choice, they are a complete auto fleet, which will allow you to focus on your trailer more. Did your school have any spread axel trailers? Those track and back slightly different then a tandem trailer, but I'm sure that learning curve will be no big deal....you will get used to dropping the air out of your suspension at times. Night driving in high traffic zones (Dallas,Atlanta, etc) will take all of your skills. Its great your school has the part of class, so many schools dont even think its important.

 

My flight leaves tomorrow morning at 6am! BTC, here I come!

 

I am in Mississippi right now...just 5 miles from Memphis...nice hotel.

 

Good Luck Mike! I know with your positive energy you will do just fine!
