Class starting 25 Oct 11

TNT Time. Still with John my trainer now. Traveling from Springmo to Cali with some cottage cheese for Kraft..... I am totally comfortable driving the truck, and John goes to sleep while I am driving. I am driving days, as I know that my night driving tolerance needs work. (I like to go to sleep at night) He doesn't mind, as he likes to drive in the afternoons and evenings. Friday was cool, with a nice 9 hours of driving on dry peaceful roads. Saturday, however, was more interesting. Snowy roads on I40 in NM and AZ really put me to the test. I ddn't wake up the trainer until we saw a firetruck passing us to tend to a jacknifed truck eastbound. I survived, still averaging 50 MPH for the day. There were moments near Flagstaff when I was at pucker factor 8. Now I am in California, and John is driving. The roads here in Cali are rough and broken down. Should deliver my first load as TNT tomorrow morning. Happy Trucking...

 

Well, welcome to pay confusion101. After the test was done, my TNT trainer went home for thanksgiving. The FM says this was my home time also. That means that I did not get paid while waiting for the TNT trnr to get back to Springfield. I am confused.

 

I tried to be the nice guy and instead of keeping a hotel room, I went the 70 miles home while waiting. I think that if I had kept a hotel room, they would have paid me, but I am not sure. I was home until the day my trainer showed back up in Springmo. I kept in touch with the trainer daily.
