    Helped load her up but didnt drive the rig to the job site. It was only my first day today and the trainer doesnt like sitting in the passnger seat too much lol. Did do the rollback earlier in the morning though.

    Only if you rolled it back while standing on the running board.

    Do it all, and drag it up a 12% grade and then down another.

    Then you will have achieved “super trucker” status.

    Hell yeah. With a lil preserverance, I know I'll get there! We run as far south as VA and as far north as long island, and then out to PA as well. So I'm sure at some point I'll be going down a hill or two.

    That’s a light load. 25 ton or maybe at the most 30 ton articulate.

    Not good enough for super trucker.
    But you made it to billy big rigger.

    You got to have a good story to go with it to
    Be a super trucker.
    Tell us how the load paid 12 grand to go 30 miles
    To the other side of the city.

    Then you had to wait 2 hours to unload, so you
    Told the broker if he didn't give up another 2 grand
    For the delay you were going to kick somebody's ###.

    Then take the equipment back to your house
    And sell it on Craigslist for cash.

    That's how real super truckers do it.

    Hahaha. Hmmmm, well, we did hit a detour along the way! And uhhhh, there was alot of cursing and hand gestures going on at dumb drivers. Oh, and I even got to stop traffic! And dont tell anyone, but we illegally parked the truck while loading up the equipment at our first stop in philly this morning. Lol.

    Our trucks are turned up, so I'm sure eventually I'll have a good story about going a 100 over the GW bridge or something lol. Or maybe driving into manhatten while wearing an eye patch. Who knows what the future holds!
