Hubby DONE!!!

The first couple of weeks seem to be like that Lots to learn and adjust to. It will get easier but be prepared to keep finding out something new that no one thought to tell you before. If you really NEED to get home, you may have to turn down loads not going that way. But you will prob sit a day or so in the process. Thank You for the update Wyld! Take care and keep the updates coming.

 

Once you get your CDL and y'all are a team, yes you can request a "team" truck. Depending on your DM he/she may try to convince you the trucks are all the same but those trucks that are "team" trucks have a little bit more room and a little bit more storage. You want every inch.

I think that currently y'all are on the "developemental" fleet. It's the most difficult time I think there was. Just try to ride it out, don't worry about hometime if you can and take your days off when you get them. The "developemental" DMs have one purpose and that's to make sure a driver can handle the road, get loads delivered on time and then move that driver onto his regular fleet with his regular DM. You'll build a relationship with your reg DM and things will be smoother.

Hang in there!!

 

Hey wyld, bumping your thread for gdyupgal. She had some questions for ya. Hope all is going well for you and your enjoying hometime.

 

My Qualcomm had a very special spot when I was sleeping..... in the closet, buried under the dirty clothes bag and anything I could use to muffle the danged thing. Until then, anytime it beeped I'd wake up. I wish they'd make a "sleep" mode so only critical messages would come through.

 

Gdyupgal had some questions about Lewiston and orientation and I told her to ask you about it Not sure why she didn't post here

And no worries, we will be here for ya when you start school

 

oops my bad..wasn't paying attention....I'm leaving monday for Lewiston and just wanted some inside info.....my recruitor said a few things and I'm just x'n t's and dot'n I's....I'll pm you later Wyldfyur

 

I've already got my CDL through a private school and so the recruitor said all I will be doing is orientation physical & pee test..no test drive which seems odd but we'll see..I go the 20th
