Starting orientation in Menasha, Wi on 4-4

just had to turn down my first load four days is because of hours. Completely dooable before this mornings five hour live unload. Destroyed my day. Should have been about an hour from my drop now I am almost five. Oh well. So far my swift experience has been good. Nothing my mentor didn't teach me before I got off his truck. On a rookie mistake page. Scaled a load. I needed to move mt tandems up 2 so I did 3 to be safe. Stupidly I needed fuel. 232 gallons to be exact. Went to rescale and was over on steers and drives. Never occured to me until half way through my shower fuel before scale. Duh. Oh well live and learn.

 

Well my first week went pretty good actually. Nothing broke. Noone died. I didn't do anything to outrageously stupid. Started my adventure at 5pm monday and was home mowing my yard by 7:15 in the morning. Ran some feeler routes for a couple of days them they put me on GLR. 34 cents a mile loaded or empty. Helps a paycheck. About 1900 miles. Wouldve been more but a 5 hour and a 4 hour live unload pretty much messed up my week. All in all happy with my swift experience. Now for some sleep I believe.
