Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

Be careful doing that flatbed hauling. Its easy to get hurt if you don't watch out.
Remember one hand for you and one for the company. Good luck...

 

No explanation needed, just something I did not know.

Apology to Joe if my post crossed the line.

 

maybe Joe drank too much water from Monocacy Creek

 

The class spent most of the last day at the outbound lane watching trucks getting their final inspection. It became pretty clear very quickly that paying attention in class is very important. According to the guy in charge, two of them were so poorly secured that the loads probably would have departed the truck in the first fairly-steep-uphill-to-the-right turn outside the yard. Even we students could see that. Both drivers were immediately removed from their loads and sent back to securement class the next day.

I hope my trainer is a conscientious, knowledgable, and experienced guy. I have a week with him and if I'm not comfortable at the end, I will stay another week or longer until I am.

 

One chapter ends and another begins.

Just dropped my last load in Ft Worth area, dropped the M/T @ yard in Dallas.

Peeling stickers off the truck and taking out the Peoplenet over the weekend.
