Well, I'm taking the plunge, and switching from city to linehaul. The big daddy in LH is putting on 5 out of our barn. Three singles and two to form a team.
Since I ain't got much 'perience in road drivin (just weekend turns to pick up extra $$$$) what kinda routine should I expect?
Here's what I do know: My first week is with a trainer. The one I'm riding with does a 600 mile turn 5 nights (Mon-Fri). I ran the same turn on Saturdays for about 3 months in the summer of 05, so that isn't a problem. I anticipate being on my own after Christmas.
The question before this great body is: What should I prepare for as a system driver and how should I prepare for the change from days to mostly nights?
BTW, driving experiece is not an issue, 20+ years of that. Just have done city work for all but 6 months
