Millis OTR journal

We love 220 on this board. Just go back and read. ) ) )

 

Hahahaha. Actually been kinda slacking with current student. Hes only aversging 2500 a week but its been an unusual 4 weeks. Got on LaCrosse to memphis for a bit and while i love running it cuz it gets me home often, it also limits your miles because of the appointment st Memphis. Really wish theyd make it a drop lol

 

Well, funny you should mention that, since I've only been on the road for exactly one week

Much more to learn, I realize I don't know #### about #### yet. Thanks for letting me vent a little. I'm gonna get good at this ######.

 

I came into training with an open mind. I really had no expectations out of my trainer. Matter of fact when I first started in Richfield tried to make sure I had an open mind to anything.
Been out with my trainer almost 3 weeks together 24 hours a day except for a few moments here and there. First week was the roughest at least for me. He has a different way of training I guess it took a little while to get used to it. Now on my third week lol I know what’s coming when I make a mistake. But he is good at eventually explaining things when we get the time. Sometimes in the moment is not the best time to get into an in depth conversation.

There are times I get aggravated with him but like @keen98 said you may get someone a whole lot worst. I feel I’m learning a lot from my guy so any minor personal differences are irrelevant.

 

If you've got 3500miles in your 1st week, I'd suck it up and do whatever you need to do to keep your current trainer. There are guys out here who only get 2000ish miles a week while training. You keep running like that, and as long as you are learning the other aspects of this job you will be on your own before you know it.

As for venting, no problem we've all been there. As long as you dont go off the rails and take it to far if you have to use here to maintain sanity and stay with your trainer then so be it. You get on your own there are gojng to be ALOT of days you need or want to vent lol. It helps having another driver you're able to vent with at the end of the day. I got to be good friends with another guy in class and we'd call each other #### near every day for the 1st yr to vent or to ask if the other has been to where we were going.

It helps big time. Calling your wife, gf, kids, etc is great but they dont understand what you are and will be going thru everyday. Most of them think "ok you drive a big ### truck its not thaaaaat hard to hold a wheel"....those of us here or others in your class have been there and are willing to help as much as we can. Again I'll tell you the same thing I've told plenty of others on this site. Im more than willing to give you my # and you can call me with any questions or problems you run into. And there are several others who can vouch for me on that.

 

I would exchange the word brave for stupid.
