Old Bear, New saga

I have 5 years experience so hopefully I don't need too much training.

 

Day 3
Lots more computer stuff, all went quickly. SUBWAY for lunch again. Sat a lot waiting for nothing to happen. Sitting here on day 4 waiting for truck assignment.

 

Well I got assigned my truck, brand new T680. Since I'm on the heavy haul fleet I have a small cab, the bunk is directly behind the seats, no rear cabinets at all. I'm using the upper bunk for storage. No APU either. Sat with a guy to go over axle weights. Wow. Having a hard time wrapping my head around this stuff. Who knew adding 3 axles would complicate things so much. Gonna take some brain work to figure this out. And a 75' tape measure. Got my first load Picking up Monday.

 

On the road again. Dropped my first load in Portland this morning and have a pickup in a bit headed back up into Washington. This truck is very small, hard to do things like put my shoes and socks on. Took a while and help from a couple of other drivers to get my 5th wheel to the right place and figure out how to drop the extra axles. I like doing short runs so far. We will see if the money end works out.

 

I've got 60k in the box now and got a green light at the only open scale I passed today.
