Orentation and Trainer Time

Hey Injun! those that don't know just have to spout to make themselves feel better!

 

You're doing fine Injun - just keep on truckin'...

 

Well Chompi, He is a o/o he can refuse or ignore loads all day, they wont can him. And I am trying to keep this from a 'swift sucks' 'big carriers suck' thread, what it was, was a clerical error, and we got a better load (twice the miles) the next day AND it routed him home for christmas with his family.

As for mine, I had pizza (that gave me FP) and stayed in a motel six. Thank you for the well wishes,

 

Positive only people!

Sorry for the LONG time between updates!

Christmas eve:

Hotel room, bad pizza, porn by myself (WOO!)

Christmas:
See above.

After that?

2000 miles, tcall, 900 more and halfway done with that, over all things are shaping up miles are coming in and that makes me feel good. Rick made his FIRST 'request' of me the other day (Hence no updates) he said: "I know that your 'you time' is around 11 your time, but we are SO far behind on this load, can you drive through it and show me how many you can put down in a night? If you want your you time, I understand I wont fault you for it, I did say you can have it...but if you want to, or can, I would apprecate you running tonight" So, I ran. I ran my hardest I could, I think it was 10.5 hours or so, 2 pee breaks, ended up with I think 580? som such. Rick is good to me, he asks for nothing, so when he asks, he gets, plain and simple. My momma raised me with a ethics code.

Christmas: Was made by talking to Injun, one of 4 people to remember me on christmas (Mom, Boyfriend, FWB, Injun)

Did a couple more backs, made a couple mistakes (That I wont say as I did not do the 'right' thing once I made them but only because there was no damage) and learned that petsmart loads suck bals
Keep shiny side up all, be safe.

More when I got more.

 

Whoa....WAAAAY TMI!!!
You sound much more relaxed and much more confident. So what about a couple backing attempts. You'll get better with practice, don't worry.
Glad to hear things are going well for you. Thanks for the update!

 

Hey Injun, I have never claimed or said Swift sucks! It is fun to make fun of of them though! All mega-carriers are bad options if you are serious about driving though. You learn this once you have experience in the industry!

As for the ignore list, when have I ever attacked you in a pm or thread for that matter?! Your inexperienced babble is not worth my time in arguing any point with you. You must be upsetting a lot of posters if you are "ignoring" pm's! Try getting off your high horse and be nice to people and you won't have a problem with your "ignore" button. Now if there was an ignorance button I am sure you would have racked up a few of those. Why don't you concentrate on driving instead of attacking people and you fair much better in the world! I think you just get a little too upset with me recommending to new drivers the real facts!

 

Sorry to hear about your Xmas eve brother but I think I have you beat.

Xmas Eve: No cel, on a Grey dog from Tennessee to Ohio 20 hours thru a snow storm, overpriced bus stop quasi food, no WiFi.

Xmas day: Hotel room, Wendy's Value meal, LD phone card to call family and friends and I skipped the porn, but at least I have WiFi now.

Sorry to hear about your crappy Xmas but, I had to share.

Keep the greasy side down and drive safely.

 

PLease. Take it to PM's guys.

I am happy with my 'super carrier' for starters and as I said before:

POSITIVE ONLY.

If this keeps up, I will stop posting.
Why?
Im going through some ##### myself unassosiated with swift or trucking that frankly, I dont need to come here, to update, to help and enjoy the friendship I have here, and read my friends taking shots at each other, as flower (or was it thumper) said: "If ya aint got somthing nice to say, dun say nuttin at all"

 

Today: Driving wise was great, low miles to get to drop so Rick chilled up front with me, we talked, laughed etc. Over all was a good good day in the truck. Then I logged online, delt with some stuff that really upset me and borderline made me shut the laptop down for a good LONG time, then came here to update this thread and had to be motherlike to someone.

But, The day is shaping back up into somthing I might be able to sleep soon, if not ill just wander walmart or somthing for a hour or two.

Hope whatever's got you upset settles down TD, so you can concentrate on the job at hand. Glad you and your trainer are working well together. It makes everything THAT much better. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
