I did it, dellivered my first two loads.

last Friday i made my first 2 deliveries. i mean it as even though i’m with a trainer i got to pre-trip, tarp and strap the load, drive to the receiver, untarp/unstrap, stow everything away, and drive back all while my trainer stood back and let me do it. twice actually as we had 2 loads to do. he only pointed out where i messed up (few times nothing serious) but let me do it as if he wasn’t there.

yes yes it might not mean much to some, but i means a lot as it’s an accomplishment for myself and my family (wife and kiddos).

oh and i didn’t hit anything, loose anything, nobody died or got hurt, etc

 

great work ! welcome to the road

 

nice work, I recall my first notable achievement. Like you say it means a bit. Onwards and upward!

 

Congratulations the first two of many more safe loads delivered for the year.

 

thank y’all.

got 2 more weeks of training then if all goes well i’ll have my own truck and account (gonna be on a dedicated account) turning miles and hopefully making good money.

 

congrats driver!!

now that is how a trainer should do it

 

if you want . alot of the flatbedders on this forum hang out over here

Post flatbed load photos here V2.0 | Page 2244 | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board (thetruckersreport.com)

feel free to post pics or ask any questions if you dont know how to do something or u get one of those loads that make u scratch your head. ive learned just about everything i know about flatbedding from that thread

 

Some of the best training I ever got was when I was learning to secure and haul glass and having a supervisor let me secure it by myself, then showing me where I made a mistake(in a positive way) so I learned from my mistakes...having to undo and redo it right made me more attentive to the little things and made me a much better driver in the long run. (And I still make mistakes, that I still learn from)

 

You are on your way! Good luck stay strong

 

Heck yeah!
