    Can't remember my last load either...:violent1:
    Seriously,didn't make very much my first year in trucking...why would I want to remember it?
    My paycheck on Friday brings much more satisfaction.

    I still have nightmares about my first multi-stop furniture load in the hills of Arkansas. I was sweating trying to get in the dock and you couldn’t even step down on the ground getting out of the truck because there was so little room. So, I have these recurring nightmares to remind me of my first run.

    Yeah it was a DG store and it took me about 40 minutes to squeeze next to the store. Ain't got the paperwork but there's a gray hair some where

    I save all my notebooks that I write my load info down in. It's an easy one to remember. I had to drop a trailer in an Orlando Publix parking lot. It's also the only time I have worn the company supplied polo shirt. I wanted to look like a professional truck driver, but i quickly realized that noone cares.
     
    Blackshack46, Lepton1 and Brickwall Thank this.

    My first load I nearly lost the signed BOL after delivery. It fell out of my pocket and when I got back to the truck I realized I didn't have it. I had to go back and wander around the receiver for 15 minutes before I found it on the floor.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    No. My first one was to a little Jewish T-Shirt Factory in Jersey City. I don't want to think about it anymore.
