Hi everyone,
Well first, off I wanted to give you my impression of how this Rookie is doing after my first 6 months on the road. First things first, when was getting into this, ugh I was pretty uncomfortable, after 6 months of being behind the wheel 50 hours a week, I've become more comfortable and I think and management said it them selves have come a long way.
That being said though everyday I am out on the road I learn a lesson, some lessons are bigger then others. However after 6 months I still have things to learn that just sometimes never cross my mind. Sometimes I make mistakes I think everyone when they were new at driving has made a mistake or has had a close call or two.
That being said it's not so much the things I can think of that are the problem, it's the things that I can't think of that scare me more or less.
That kind of keeps me on my toes. Sometimes it is driving issues and sometimes it is delivery issues. You know it's funny you think you have it somewhat figured out and then, that's usually when the truck teaches you a lesson or two or some customers pull some funny business. However for the sake of this thread it is more or less, pertaining to driving.
I think everyone when they were new had moments when they did something and maybe nothing came of it, but after it happened they thought "You know, what was I thinking I know better and could have done that better."
One of the tow motor operators at the warehouse one day hit and broke a trailer door with the forklift and said "Awe darn it." I could tell he wasn't to happy with himself and he said "Sometimes stuffs going to happen no matter what you do."
Any how I better go to bed I have work to do tomorrow.
