    Got hired for p&d combo driver which means I have to do some dock work also and so far I’m definitely not liking having to learn the dock and load the trailers I just wanna drive but I also want to be home every night.

    I just went through cdl training for Reddaway. Doing four more weeks on on job training. Was originally going linehaul route and have a choice but I’ve been going out with P&D guys for the past 6 or so days and I’m actually kinda liking it.

    Whoever picked up this garbage needs to be hung by his genitalia until he screams the words “I’ll never do that again”. :biggrin_25510:
