Actually I am a bit sorelol We had a pretty good week. Not much in terms of securements because we hauled Boom lifts from Ohio to South Carolina. Prior to that Did my first load of Suicide Coils and that left me pretty exhausted.lol .....My weekends are spent recovering in bed haha.
Im still having a blast learning. My trainer makes a 5 week minimum mandatory training and he has over 80% student retention. He keeps close touch and meets students whenever he can. Really awesome How supportive he is. Ive already met a couple of his old students.....great people.
Back to bed.....We went home empty so Gotta check in monday morning.....Time to watch Amish Mafialol
Maverick Here I come !

I try not to go Online when im training. Just chat with family before bed. It is hard work but im enjoying it......Im sure summertime will change my mind lol.....I still cant imagine doing some of these loads in hot weather...... I have great respect for you flat vets

Actually of the two (Heat and COLD), I prefer the heat. You just absolutely HAVE to stay hydrated. No joking at all. You can dehydrate really fast, get dizzy/pass out, and fall off that trailer. You are working on a very large solar panel. Come late July you will see what I mean. But cold rain/ice storm work is worse in my opinion. Stay safe out there.
JaCk ThE TrIpPeR Thanks this. -
Ive had my Cold, rain and ice with Those recent snow storms. Thanks for the advice. I will stay stocked on Water. Hopefully by summer I will be more efficient in what i do.
jxu417 Thanks this. -
so how are things going for you.

I can only imagine how much of a pain it is going to be tarping/chaining in the winter time. People ask me all the time how I stand the hot summers here in Alabama. I tell them I live in Alabama for a reason. Its so I don't have to deal with the cold, ice, and snow they have up north. Give me 100 degrees and 100% humidity in july/august in alabama over any cold day anywhere in the north.

Had a great experience with my trainer and keep in constant contact with him while solo.....he answers his phone everytime
Im enjoying this quite abit. Getting lost in those huge steel plants isnt fun but its all part of learning lol. Great company and the support from fellow drivers is great !

If you get lost at a customer, just keep driving around... Someone's bound to eventually ask you what the hell you're doing lol.
