The continuing tale of DocFrank

My trainer-to-be, Caesar, called me. He seems like a nice guy; company driver, been a trainer 5 or 6 years he wasn't sure. He's Hispanic but that cool as yo hablo espanol, pero solemente la lingua del frontera. He's got an accent but it's one I grew up with so no problemo.
He said he was going to take some home time and we wouldn't leave out until Sunday and asked if that was O.K. with me. I take that as a good sign that he would be so considerate.
He's going to pick me up at my house in his car so that's also good as now I don't have to worry about where my car is parked and Karen can use it in an emergency.
I hope I do alright out there and believe me Mike, I am a real question asker. I completely agree with you when you say that this time is going to set me up for the rest of my career.

 

No prob! I got the reward cards for t/a, flying J, Loves, etc. all I gotta do is put in gas with my card and I'm good to go. The others I gotta work on. Thanks again.

 

Nerves are really firing up today. I keep going over everything I have packed and wondering if I'm bringing too much. I told Caesar what I had and he seemed fine with it tho he cautioned me that there isn't much room. This I know. I starting to worry that I'll be rusty in my shifting; its been two months almost since I got out of school and passed my test. I applied at Bill Hall,Jr. and did O.K. on my road test. Just backing got me and I went over what I did a thousand times until I realized where I went wrong. I think I could pass it now that I'm going with Swift. Hah! Isn't that always the way of it?
One thing I'm worried about is voting while I'm on the road. Down here in San Antonio we're having run-offs with early voting starting Monday. It's an important election and I don't want to miss out on putting my two cents in. It's my duty as a citizen.
How do other drivers handle stuff like this? Do I get voting forms sent to my home terminal or what?
As you can see I'm bouncing off the walls in anticipation and uncertainty about Sunday.
Be safe and Don't let the Minahunees get you!

 

Here I sit in San Antone, waitin' for a ride to the future
My God the hours seem way too long from morning to midnight
And I'm callin' out to hear an echo
'cause I still don't have a ride
where's the people who'll remember
when nothin's left inside.

Waiting to hear from Caesar. Talked yesterday and he said he hadn't heard back from Keta and that he was waiting for a load. Also said it might be Monday before we head out. I am presently being overwhelmed with self-doubt and anxiety. Godfry Daniels I hate waiting!!!

 

Hey Sammy! Good to hear from you. I think I may have read the thread you're talking about and it was good. Thanks for the support!and good advice.
I think I have what I need some but not too much, after all space is at a premium when you share someone else's home. I'm just ultra stressed about the whole thing self doubt and all that.
Be safe out there and Don't let the Minahunees get you!

 

No I don't think so. In orientation 3 of the six guys went the day it was over. Don't know about the other two. I think I just fell into a SNAFU hole because I missed a call while my phone was charging and, unbeknownst to me, the ring tone had turned itself down to 1 so I didn't hear it.
Hopefully I'll be gone today.
