    Don't be nervous, everything will be fine. Trucking isn't complicated; it just looks that way for new drivers. You goint to Tulsa for orientation?

    Yes Tulsa..34 hour bus ride!!
    I really hope it works out for me and I make it through the orientation part. The driving part I have a lot of confidence in my skills.

    Shouldn't have a problem; chaining and tarping is mainly common sense. They'll show you how they want it done during orientation.

    They dedicate the 4th and 5th day to load securement if I understand it right. I'll be good with that part I'm sure..Leaving the Florida warm sunshine is going to be the biggest shock I think..

    Sounds like they will have 15 people starting Monday an I hope I'm not the oldest one there!
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Watch your baggage on the bus. People have a habit of stealing luggage. They'll grab an extra suitcase that's stored underneath because no one pays attention to what's going on. No valuables there for sure; carry it in your lap if you have to.
     
    Concorde Thanks this.
