So far pretty good. I don’t feel like the company gave me enough training, but I’m learning things on my own and by asking. We’ve got a great group of guys over here, anytime I have a question I can get an answer. I haven’t hurt myself (other than scrapes) or torn anything up since the first week and my speed is getting better. I’m a lot more comfortable backing cars up onto the unit.
They’ve even got me running coast to coast which is what I’d rather do anyway. I don’t know how much of it we do, but I hope they keep it coming. I left the house and delivered at the port in Brunswick. Dispatch called and asked me if I wanted to go to California, which I said hell yeah! So they loaded me to Alabama from the port, picked up Mercedes in Vance, stops in Fort Worth, Midland and El Paso. I unload in el Paso this morning and deadhead to California, picking up a load going all the way back up to the north side of NYC. I’ve not been home near as often as I was with OD, but I’m hoping that will even out more as I get more experience. If they could keep me running west I’d stay out, do 3 rounds and go home for the rest of the month.
