Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and new to line-haul-trucking. I am stationed at the Saint Louis terminal, and I have to say that most of those folks are the nicest most helpful gentlemen (and women) that I've ever had the pleasure to meet in any profession. They went out of their way - when they didn't have to - to help out a newbie trucker like myself when I would make mistakes or have problems with faulty equipment. Without asking for help, they would just come over and offer to help repair a problem. That type of courtesy is unique. I've had many professional jobs in my life (I have more letters after my name than most people have IN their name) and my current opinion is that no profession can compete with the kindness I have experienced from one trucker to another in my brief time (2 weeks) at Old Dominion.
My one question is this: Is there anyway to speed up the time it takes to locate a trailer at a large terminal such as Indianapolis? I've done that run 3 times, and each time it takes me over an hour to locate the 2 trailers I need.
Thanks
