<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flyingmusician, post: 1995054, member: 61515&quot;]thanks chickenman.....i&#039;m feeling like i made a good choice of where to land with Epes......i&#039;ve met nothing but solid, straight up people so far and just going through the orientation process it was clear they are only looking for quality people and not taking on anybody questionable in any way</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>i&#039;m all about the miles and don&#039;t mind the work.....in my former position as a senior manager for an air cargo outfit, it was 24/7/365 on call, on demand, any shift, all shifts, all weather all the time so in that respect, nothing will change lol</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>the place i went to was in savannah, right across the tracks and on the same side of the road as the CT transportation terminal.....would have to go back and look at my notes to remember the name (went so many places in the first week don&#039;t even remember them all lol) if they send you there, you&#039;ll remember it from then on. i know i will lol.......and just don&#039;t expect to get out in any hurry if it&#039;s a live load....the lane between the row of empties and the front of the tractor after you&#039;re backed in is only two truck widths wide....if we had been further down the row, i probably would have been one of those guys that said here, you do it lol.....but as it was we were in door 3 which gave us enough room to make the s around the corner of both rows of empties and into the dock without getting too far down the lane and then having NO room to manuever in any way......some guys were able to do it and it was pure art watching them get in, but most of them just dropped in the lane and called the yard dog over.....with the short wheelbase on the yard truck he had just enough room to get them turned and in the hole.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>i wouldn&#039;t say i&#039;m a better backer then a long-timer like you, but it did very closely resemble an exercise we did in school that was a serpentine back around a corner into a dock.....the only difference was the 90 degree hook to finish it to the hole....i had to laugh when i saw what it was going to be....i thought they were full of #### when they set up that exercise at school and that i&#039;d NEVER see anything like that in the real world but there it was lol......those old-timers that taught us knew what they were doing and i&#039;ve been glad from day one i picked the school i did.....hopefully i won&#039;t see that one again for a long time[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
