Grape vine Says they cancelled the 21st and the 8th of Oct. Sorry boys. I got cleared of the accident so I pick up my truck this Thursday. Maybe I even get to go home, Ya Right! Dollars to donuts I won't see home for another month after I get my truck. Brent
Qualcomm just said that there were no classes for the 21st or 28th of Sept, the next class was the 8th of Oct. Don't know when I will get any hometime. They have us scheduled out until Thursday as of now. Haverhill MA today, pickup at 16:30. Bedford NH tomorrow and back to Augusta ME on Thursday. I drive right by the exit on MA Tpke that I would take to gome home everynight. getting there is only wishful thinking I guess. Mentor is good. I drive more each day. I do all the backs. putting it between 2 other trailers at the distribution center can be tight. Got used to sleeping when the truck is moving. When we do Augusta we usually sit in the saervice plaza and mentor gets his hours back around 3am and I sleep after the drop and have my hours for the drive there. Had a guy in my class that was a rehire. he got his truck Thursday afternoon and took a load out that day. Good luck Brent. I won't see you because I don't get anywhere near the terminal. Probably won't see that until I test out.
Home until Saturday afternoon. Just made a run from Wilton NY (Target distribution center) to Augusta ME and back. They wanted us to do a load from Wilton to Watertown NY, but we wouldn't be back in time. Saturday it's back to Augusta (I get to go there 3 times a week) Been to NH and MA mostly ME. sometimes have a backhaul of poland springs water, that puts the truck at a total weight of about 77,00 - 78,000 lbs. really pushes you down hills. My mentor is really goosd. I do all the backs. He is a dedicated driver for the Target account, so that is all we run. After training yoou have to go otr for 30 days. After that I hope to get a dedicated run. you have to live within 50 miles of where the account is to get on it.
Hey Granite... we have the same oreintation date maybe we can run into each other on the way out... heres my email rmarierii@yahoo.com
man things must be busy out there no one has posted lately...could be a good sign of whats to come???? maybe.
Home till tomorrow, the truck I picked up in RI was a bone so now headed back to Syracuse sometime this week. What a disappointment, aparently the truck had been hit in the right front quarter panel and the fog/turn sig was broken; the hood was frozen shut, it shoke like an amusement ride probably due to being wacked. The front right steer tire was installed with the wrong rotation and the cruise control didn't work....Arrrgh!!! They expect me to be under load tomorrow. I am a big guy and this truck feels like I'm falling off the seat. What a piece of junk! They promsed me a bigger rig; I will believe it when I see it. Hope u guys have a better first truck. Brent
