Superior Carriers

I will be running system/OTR for at least a couple weeks at a time. I can't speak to the pay or home time yet as I have no experience of my own with either of those. All I have to go on is what I've read from the guys & gals that have written threads here. I will definitely update as much as possible once I get rolling

 

First day with my trainer today, everything good so far. I’ll be training out of the St. Gabriel, Louisiana terminal. We’re overnighting in Meridian, Mississippi en route to Chattanooga. Everyone is really nice down here and very helpful. Lots to learn!

 

I didn’t get to see much of it, just a quick overnight. I bet the downtown would be nice though.

 

Back in Meridian tonight, picked up a load of what looks like liquid plastic in Doraville, Ga & headed to Forney, TX to deliver Monday. Will arrive Saturday so it’ll be a nice layover on Sunday. So far, so good! I’m so grateful to be with such a great company. If all continues to go well, I’ll be in my own truck sometime in August.

 

Yeah I’m living in Jensen Beach right now so I’ll be running the system since I’m too far from the terminal to drive local. I’m enjoying being out on the road, I love to drive and I love the adventure of it all. I don’t think I’ll be pulling much in Florida, maybe just taking a load out every now & again. There’s lots of local work around the Tampa area though.

 

I’m not able to drive for the first week per company policy so I’m just absorbing all I can on the log, load paperwork, loading/unloading, swapping trailers, etc. Monday will be a live unload so I’ll get to hook up hoses, air off the load and get some experience. I’m looking forward to driving next week for sure. From what I’ve seen and heard from my trainer, the trucks are either Mack Anthems or Internationals. They’ve got the small sleepers and no APU, No fridge or microwave, but really we have plenty of time to stop & eat so it’s no big deal. I’d rather make my own food and bring it so I’ll get a cooler & keep it in my truck once I get cleared. We trucked from Meridian, MS to Terrell, TX today & will spend tonight and tomorrow night chillin’ in a hotel with layover pay. After we deliver Monday, we will head to Pasadena, TX to drop the trailer & see what’s next. Keep on truckin!
