It just can't get better then that!!!

might get lucky and do the same thing for awhile, even better, something easy

usually works out better that way

if you have that choice starting out, take it!

nights has practically zero traffic too

 

Yes and you're right, but I'm just the type of guy that "hopes for the best but plans for the worst".
It's a food delivery where I have to unload the product with a pallet jack or by hand for small deliveries to restaurants. Normally a 10-12 hrs work days in a 200 miles radius.

 

I know!! I almost felt in love as soon as I saw it lol.

It sounds like I'm getting a not too bad route with only 3-5 stops per day.

 

I'll second that

 

Better than a 53 foot trailer!

One: less to unload every day
Two: easier to get into restaurant parking lots! Hahahahaa

Great that the retiring gent is getting to train you. Bring a notepad and take notes.

OK, one question here: If you are home every day, why are they giving you a sleeper, rather than a day cab?

 

I think the food service guys do overnight trips sometimes. But I'll let the OP answer.

 

Sure I will Mikeeee!!


Just one thing to my newbie colleagues and students: "Listen, listen and listen to what your instructors have to tell you and do it the way they're telling you to do it, leave your ego at the door they're there to help us achieve our goals. Knock on all local doors first and be willing to adjust to the circumstances and always give your best. I have my tankers, doubles/triples and hazmat (already got fingerprinted and all that) endorsements and at the end won't need them but, I found this big opportunity".
I had my mind set for a major carrier as my starting company but I just couldn't get over the $250-450 a week for 8 weeks of training with long periods away from home and told myself: "do I have to go thru all that? There's gotta be better options!".
I definitively have to thank all the threads and comments encouraging us to do so, sorry that I can't remember names at the moment, but if you ever said that you know I'm talking about you.

 

They have a day cab with a 45' for the short and city runs, the sleeper is used for better comfort and safety I was told but ill find out more about it. Just please don't make them take it away from me, I don't like day cabs LOL.

 

I just can't imagine waking up @ 12am start driving @1-1:30 and the sun starts to raise forcing you to take a little nap and have to take it seating. It's just to nice of them
