Comcar - CT Transportation Info From New Driver

Just finished orientation/ADTP. Got the call from Tim. Have to wait a least a week for trainer. ( Mocksville) Both of us in class. Oh yeah Top Dog don't get anything extra.

 

Going to orientation on the 16th any pointers?

 

Ill bevthere with ya

 

Have good blood pressures. The wellness test isn't bad just make sure you can lift 120#. As far as ADTP. You'll learn more than you did in school. The trainers are good. They work with you if you have a good attitude. Plan on getting nasty dirty I mean real filthy. The split axles back different but it don't take long to catch on. I really enjoyed it and we had a class that got along good. Make sure you have money for supper. Just take it one day at a time and you'll be fine. Oh don't take or mention any thing about Tylenol 3 or back spasms. Good luck and I'll see you on the road one day.

 

im nervous now, im 140/90. worst part is im in pretty decent shape being a powerlifter lol

 

They don't just take one reading. If it's high the first time around they have you sit in a quiet place and tell you to think good thoughts. I'm 57 and in decent shape for a old fart. I had 141/88 at the first physical at my school. But at orientation I was 136/77. Don't eat a big supper the night before and no pastas. Do drink coffee or soda in the morning. And you'll be fine. The doctor isn't a ### she was real nice and understanding. She'll give you every break she can. So don't worry all that does is raise your pressure.

 

yup, no salt and no caffine. man i just picked up a bunch of shine.........better drink as much as i can tonight lol

 

Sounds good I had the same reading as the other guy and in good shape too but I just ate lunch before I took it. Will take your advice. So what do you think so far?

 

I've only been thru orientation/ADTP. If my terminal has the kind of people I meet in Savannah I think it will be ok. One of the boy's that I went through class with lives near the terminal we'll be at and meet the TM and DM. Said they were very friendly and the terminal was smaller but in better condition than Savannah's. Only wish they had a trainer for us. But they have gotten 8 new driver's from the 2 classes before us. So I have to sit for a week. That's ok it's $500.00 for taken a break. I'm Ok with it but would rather get it over and assigned my truck so I can get setup and in grove of things. As far as the shine goes hope you have it setting in cherries or apples to take some of the bite out. HA

Sounds like a nice paid.vacation in Savannah!
