<p>[QUOTE="stepanahalf, post: 2043847, member: 66622"]I had a pretty good training day Wednesday even though I got a call at 4 a.m. Me and another trainee went out to deliver a load of cement on our own for the first time. He is an older more experienced driver and very professional so I felt good going with him. He helped me also get the hang of how the unloading process works. We got the wrong directions but when we finally got to the rig site everything went smoothly. The truck unloaded quickly without any clogging. We drove 80 miles back to the yard and were finished by 3 p.m.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got a call this morning at around 10:00 a.m. and was told there was no load for us today but then after lunch they called me back and asked me if I could make it in around 5:30 p.m. I waited for them to call but later they called and said the load was ready at 8 p.m. but wasn't released yet. Now I'm waiting for a call to get dispatched and it's getting close to midnight. It might not be released until 3 a.m. or later so I may as well get some sleep.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also got another person to help with dispatch. Things may be getting more organized. I was told we will be on a 6/1 schedule rotating either saturday or sunday off.
