Monday morning we lose a load to Texas because of the breakdown so we sit all day waiting. He still isn't fixing anything( must be no time ) Tuesday 8 am pickup going to Cheyenne another TA truck pulls up and says come on captain your coming with me OH BOY HERE WE GO. As i load my stuff into the other truck lots of phone calls back and forth bottom line is no trainees for the guy with the broke truck but my new trainer and I are back again waiting at the truck stop. OH BTW this KW700 is a luxury wagon compared to teaming up in a KW660
Here I go with TransAm Trucking!

Good luck with your new trainer. If your sitting, hope there's training going on. Got your videos, various types of backs, pretrips, etc. See how salty he/she is on pretripping a tlr. Ask him about the automatic greaser for the brakes, check all your floor joists for cracks, ask him where the airbag levelor is at., etc.

sounds like a typical day at T/A. I have about 100 horror stories of my year there.

Three days in the Days Inn and now we are testing out Road Test was fine General Knowledge was easy been listening to that since thanksgiving. Logs and Trip Sheets were a pain in the a... but it appears to be ok. Now if I can just resist the allure of a T700 . A KW660 company truck will be ok. OHHHHHHHHHHH but those 700 ohhh
