Trainer for US Xpress

I should be out of the training game by December. I'm switching back to teams with a friend...

 

Your terminal would be in Shippensburg, PA. After orientation they would either have a trainer meet you there, bus you to a trainer or send you home until a trainer is available.

You will need 150 hours of driving time, which is about 3 weeks. Then you get your own truck after you upgrade.

 

Decided to go ahead and take on a new trainee since my friend has run into yet another delay.

Picked this one up in THL on my way to Kansas City. Yesterday we got to Illinois and ran into some snow. The wipers were icing up and the road was looking bad so I had him pull over on an exit to clean the wipers and switch drivers. Got back on the road and it was cleared off from the exit on...lol. A few nore miles and the road was high and dry again.

I went ahead and finished out the shift. We stopped at the TA in Forestell, MO to catch the second half of a very disappointing Super Bowl.

Now headed to KC. Will be getting there a little early for our 1300 appt then end up at the J.

 

This current student drove 53.5 hours and 2610 miles his first week. I drove a couple hours here and there to make up for lost time. Today he is at 72 btw hours.This one has a little bit of attitude. He did some ltl work back in the 80's so he thought he knew it all. After getting us almost stuck twice he is learning to listen to me.Currently we are waiting in Ruthers Glen for a repower. We were heading to Miami but they want me in Tunnel Hill for some DoY stuff. That is why I am getting a new truck.Unfortunately we are going to Tunnel Hill by way of Atlanta. Will have to play it by ear. At this point I don't expect to make the 0900 delivery time tomorrow. I hear Atl is a wasteland right now.

 

Thanks for the heads up TruckDuo.I just want to get this stuff out of the way so I can get back to just working.
