Orentation and Trainer Time

your superiors are to keep you on the straight and narrow...if you mess up, expect trouble...

perhaps this is why preplanning is so important in just about everything we do....

 

This was GPS for my fourwheeler during orientation, I planto do my pretripping with maps, and maybe use GPS to suppliment.

 

my point...perhaps you should have pretripped your orientation....like, be sure you know where you are going and ETA, etc.....1st impressions are often the most important ones we make....

 

Thankfully this was 'second impression' I was on time the first time because I had a ride. But yes, your point is made, though the point of this thread is what to expect during orientation and time with your trainer, now hanging on how I messed up one thing, I acknowlaged it then and I do again now mistakes happen.


Anyway:

I have now heard from my trainer, he is currently in Texas trying to get a load to Denver so he can pick me up, an owner op who is going to show me the ropes, seems like a nice guy, and like he has his stuff togeather so im excited.

 

Excellent. You SHOULD be excited. Now the fun starts, and I mean that in the right way. Best of luck to you and let us know how you guys are doing when you can.

 

Well, jusrt heard from my trainer, he got a load to denver but has a friend who wants to see what it would be like, so picking me up got pushed back to tuesday or wednesday (He hopes) And while im a little disappointed, I can also understand, its good to see what its like before you decide to do it.

So update when i know more.

 

Head out tomarrow, around 9am headed to Ohio with the first load with my trainer.

 

Good luck TD! And Relax as best you can.

 

Good luck to ya. Too bad you can't be home for Thanksgiving, but sometimes that's the way it has to be.
Be safe out there!
