I am SheepDog and this is my thread;

Hey man, look me up while you're down there. I report there in the morning for light duty. Coming back from an injury from falling off my load. Look forward to meeting you.

 

I have read your thread and am glad you are doing good enough to do light duty. Bad deal getting hurt right after starting.... No long term effects I hope?

Anyway, I go to orientation on the 22nd and am looking forward to it. The only thing I don't like, really, is that fact that I got to ride with a trainer for a couple weeks. But, that is why I picked TMC, they do the best training,,,right? LOL

Later bro..

 

I am going to orientation on the 14th. In regards to training, tarping is dangerous regardless how much training you have.

 

you going to the experienced driver orientation??? I will be there but I am coming on as a re hire so I shouldn't have to go with a trainer

 

No, the noob orientation. But I will be in Des Moines by sunday.

 

True, but this is true as well; "The MORE training you have, the LESS dangerous tarping will be".

 

hey man it will be cool. We have all been there. Keep your head up and take you time. Keep off the grass

 

Well, arrived at Columbia, SC last night and today was first day of orientation. Drug test, physical, paperwork and roadtest....day 1 is in the books. Tomorrow will be mostly paperwork and some tarp training.

Will keep everyone posted.

 

Take notes. Learn!! take notes. Nows the time. Dont Play in hotel This is your future, An mine Good luck

 

Okay,, day 2 in the books and man, I am wore the hech out... Folded two steel tarps and two lumber tarps... with wind up to around, 30 to 35 mph... fun but definetly need to get back into shape.
Tomorrow is Logs, Safety, Securement and some other stuff.....


Later...
