I did it, dellivered my first two loads.

thank you again everyone for the kind words and advice.

this is my beauty i’m picking up today, well actually here in a few. then i’ll get my first load.

it’s great to see a plan come full circle and actually get seen through as it was supposed to be.

 

so far so good. i picked my first solo load up after everything on the truck checked out.

it was a live load and well, a hour and a half later i got her all buttoned up and on the road. did i over strap it, sure. but honestly till i’m more experienced i’m erring on the side of, well just take a look at the pic. Plus the right hand lane of 95 north through SC sucks below 26 and both ones suck north of it.

Sheet rock coming out of Savannah GA and this load is going to Wendell NC which is right at 6 hours (made up about 30 minutes on the way up) the load itself, she’s on the light side, coming in under 28k. but i’m on my 10 hour currently and technically coulda made it to the job site tonight but i didn’t think to call when i left with the load to see if they had on site truck parking.

oh an a big boat came in to port while i was losing also:

 

thank you for the kind words. i’ll be honest, i invested a lot in my self to get here and don’t wanna screw it up.

i’ve had a few show me the minimal, and told them thanks but i prefer to over do it to an extent not only because i wanna keep my record clean and not get anyone hurt or killed, but honestly i don’t wanna end up on the internet with a segment on boneheaded truckers or Mutha Trucker news lol.

thanks for extending the offer, tanker is where i wanna end up at, but not sure if i’ll be able to cross your path anytime soon lol. the wife is reenlisting in the military.
