Star Transportation (Nashville, TN)

The Safety guy is Jeff. I don't know his last name. Haven't met Mike Salyers yet.

 

Update....Took my second trip out (same exact run as the first--Nashville to Cedar Rapids, roundtrip). I got a little bit more backing experience, and from what I could tell, I needed it! Attention future students that just got their CDL: If you think you having alley docking down, you are in for a big surprise. Any fool can back a trailer between cones in an open parking lot. It's a totally different story when you have to squeak it between two empties with no room to set up in front of you, in the middle of the night, with two other trucks waiting to get by you. Hats off to you experienced guys that just slip that puppy in there like it's nuthin. Anyway....They are switching me to a different trainer after Thanksgiving. He runs the NE regional and will pick me up at home (NJ) on Mon or Tue. Having a blast, and loving it so far....

 

Nothing new...still waiting to link up with my next trainer, which is looking like Thursday sometime...I didn't want to wait that long, but it worked out great for me to be home for Thanksgiving!

 

Just got off the phone with Bob...he is taking good care of me. Operations made a mistake, so I didn't get paid for last week, but he is all over it!

 

Update... My new trainer called me and will be up here Wednesday morning! I'm ready to get back on the road! Sounds like he wants to run hard, so should be some good experience for me. Star seems to be going the extra mile to take care of their drivers. I just hope things go this well once I get out on my own...so...till next time!
