Well no word form the OP, but for those who don't know how it works, you don't sit and wait for a load, you move to a more active place to get one. You don't wait for dispatch to approve it either, it takes a little skill but overall it is doable.
You would have gone to UnionTown, next to Green for your orientation.
FedEx CC also does vans. -
It depends on what your financial situation is. When I was OTR it was all about getting experience and money wasn't a problem for me. So I took the downtime as excuses to explore the surrounding area.
The way I looked at it was down time like this was just adding to my experience. I saw a lot of the country this way, I really did.
Having said that the most I was stuck in between loads was 3 days. -
9 days..I'd already be working somewhere else and have my first hometime by then...lol
Suspect Zero and buddyd157 Thank this. -

I hate to even say this.
Your better off on a lease purchase at a mega.
At least you'll have real truck with a bed in
The back.
Instead of living in a cargo van. -
I thought this was a country song
Suspect Zero and Lepton1 Thank this. -
