Working for a O/O: From a students point of view

First off thank you for supporting me members. Secondly I am not going with the contractor from Fed Ex due to me not learning the serpentine and RM not signing paperwork. I have been communication with my former boss. I got turned down by two more companies. I called him up and asked to go out again. I will be heading out at the end of April to beginning of May.

I would like to apologize if I offended you in any way shape or form especially to mm, bronc, brick, and scarecrow and the staff of this forum. I messed up and was thin headed.

It is hard to find people who care about others. My boss is an exception. I feel comfortable with him to the point he acts like an older brother to me. He does business professionally and has heart for others. When I needed understanding, he taught me and gave me courage. Also when I needed help during my refresher at Roadmaster, he gave it to me and understood where I came from. Did I agree on everything he said: Heck no and he'll tell you that. I did what he said no matter what.

For those who are not facebook friends here is my truck I drove:



2005 Freightliner Columbia, 10 spd ultra no clutch, 3:58 rears, Detroit 515HP, 22.5 tires 70in Condo sleeper

Trailer: 1996 Utility 53' VSR2A, Thermoking Carb Compliant Reefer (look closely on silver part of the reefer and you'll see the black id CARB requires)

 

I left home with problems and they caught up too me. I had a personal issue and that has been solved. We have been in contact and after his next home time I am flying in and going out. This gives me a chance to gain experience while waiting for Swift to call me.

Edit: The job was and is temporary until I can find something permanent. He has been over back for me. He gave me free showers on his dime (no joke) and allowed me to learn in a comfortable environment. He also payed for my food during my first week.

I do have a good trainer; he is very nice too me. I respect he trusts me enough to sit back in the sleeper and let me do my thing.

Alex thank you for your words.
