That's great. Next you will be in tight quarters with another driver. Try not to talk about personal dramas or controversial things. Try to be easy going when you are sharing space in the truck. Try to listen to what he is saying. It's hard to get through that but in the end it's worth it.

Hopefully u get a good trainer. I remember the dude i was with for 5 weeks with swift. Guy showered once a week and slept with shoes on his bed.. nasty as ####. Smelled like a lizard that #### himself then bathed in a landfill afterwords. That was probably the worst 5 weeks of my life. Id orobably end up in jail if i had to do something like that again
Speedy356, Speed_Drums, Chinatown and 6 others Thank this. -

My trainer quit his Melton job while I was on the truck with him. They ended up just passing me early and assigning me my own truck. What break I got!

Woo hoo it's Sunday.tommorow we are officially on the company payroll.today was just cleanup of the training shed and a little classroom time.to go over some odds and ends of training.they said we all should have trainers assigned by the end of monday.then fly to meet them or they come here to Tulsa to pick us up.oriemntation was about what I expected.I think Ilovecats said it best.,they said it's like trying to drink from a firehouse.There is just so much info thrown at you,it's almost 2 much
But I think they don't expect you to be perfect when you leave here .Just laying the foundation to build on.Lonesome, FullMetalJacket, Walk Among Us and 1 other person Thank this. -
