TransAm Trucking On my way ...

Congrats man keep us updated. Wish ya the best. And as wulf said Learn all u can soak up all the info good n bad. Keep a Positive Attitude and you'll be fine!!

 

Thanks man I will diff....

 

Good luck. Keep ears open, mouth shut except to ask questions, and you should do just fine. Do not go into the motel bar or walk across the street to the mall bar. If caught, you'll be sent home. Rooms are all non smoking, so don't do that in the rooms either or you'll be sent home. Be on time!!!!! If you can't make the bus on time, guess what??? Home you go. Pack as lite as you can but still take enough stuff to survive. You'll have the chance to do laundry while out. When with a trainer, make sure he actually trains you!!! Ask questions. Practice backing, do all the QC msg's, pay all the lumpers, learn and use the forms!!!

 

Thanks I back a big duffle bag with all my stuff and I got a back pack for when I stay out .. is that good ..? yeah I dont drink nor smoke ... hey question I pay the lumper otta my pocket..

 

One of the forms you'll learn is requesting lumper approval. Input the info, they'll send you the po# and they'll put the money on your comdata card, then you'll write and register a comcheck to pay the lumpers, scales, and anything else with.

 

does transam have a issude with driver weight I dont have diabities or high anything and i have a valid 2 year dot physical im just fat...lol im 5"10 390 pounds I am on a every strict diet I did lose like 26 lbs already ...

 

If you've got a valid physical and are able to do the job, you should have no problem. When I first came on, even if you did have a card, you had to go in for another physical.... on their dime. Just another way to show that bean counters are now in control.

 

Today is the day Fellas Im taking a 8:30pm FLight from Philly to kansas city then a taxi ride the hoiiday inn on Othale

 

be careful with trainers

 

I just read this thread, nice to see the vets helping out the new kid. Possitive attitudes and real advice... priceless.
