To Moose, Ice, and many other of you that train, I too am 'looking' at maybe training. I know I won't be able to be a trainer till after 6 mo, that's fine as I'm still learning more every day myself. I've spent most of my corporate life as a trainer, both in-house and on-site. I do agree though that this training would be a bit different as the trainee would have the means to do something stupid and could get you hurt. However, trainers need to be, well, "training" and not just 'babysitting'. I had a good trainer, there are many good trainers out there, but as said earlier, there are some 'not so good' trainers out there as well. For those of you going otr with a trainer, be attentive, ask questions, be respectful, but also know your rights as a trainee...as in your trainer should respect you as well - respect is given as respect is earned. Anyway, am enjoying this over the corporate life.

I know...me again. General question on Dedicated or Regional routes...pros/cons on what's out there. Kraft, Dole, Coors, Fred Meyer...and I think there are a few others out there. I wouldn't mind one that would have me pass through UT every now and then so I could stop by the house once in awhile - thoughts? Thanks.

And if we have a back haul it's usually a live load. That leads me to my favorite part of this fleet. Because Kraft also pays for the backhaul if there is no load available within a couple hours we just deadhead back to Stockton, so even though the loads are shortish (600-700mi) we are always moving, helping us get more miles. My best week sofar has been 6300 miles just running up and down I5. Like I said before 4500 is typical.Diner Man Thanks this. -

OTR once wanted us to run 100 miles on a trailer super single with no tread (it had separated and peeled off). It held air, but no tread, and they didn't want to pay $800 to a Petro when they could get it on account for a lot less. I kept waiting for it to blow the entire drive. -
I did beer for a while, I don't recall going through Utah all that often.Diner Man Thanks this.
