    4 hour plane ride from Milwaukee to Wilkes-Barre to hopefully (barring a failed physical) begin a new career with Prime in the reefer division.

    Anyone else going to be there?

    You're from Milwaukee and they're sending you to Pittston? I'm out of Springfield and also from MKE.

    Is Prime doing PSD out of Pittston, or just TNT?

    Should be both at all three terminals, I believe, unless something has changed.

    Got hired on. On the road with my trainer now heading to California. OTR life is rough and I've only been out for 5 days

    don't take your time with another driver into consideration. it's completely different once you get on your own. you can run off your recap hours until you get somewhere fun, take a 32 hour reset and actually go see and do ####. co-ordinate with your DM of course. just an example you dont have to if you dont want to.

    it's a lifestyle change but a positive one. since your new go ahead and start thinking about what you want out of trucking. don't just do miles to pay bills. plan ahead. don't like driving in winter? save up so you can take the winter months off by getting a part time seasonal job. work with prime on that. they'll let you come back. again, just an example.

    long story short have a goal, or goals and stick to it. the more goals you set and the more you meet those goals the more motivated you are to run hard to make it work.
