Well, I'm on the road! I finished training, got a truck issued, and am on my third load. Man, what a scary situation. I am going places I have never been. If I didn't have my GPS, I'd be screwed. Now, I know you are going to tell me not to count on a GPS and to depend on the MC Atlas. But, when the clock is ticking and the load has to get there, its hard to sit down and plan your route and end up explaining why the load was late.
My longest run is the one I'm on now. Picked up a load of interior doors in southern Oregon and am delivering them to Edmonton, Alberta (there now). I'm sitting outside my 1st drop for the morning.
I can hardly believe they issued me my own truck and turned me loose with no adult supervision!!!
ops:
I love the driving. The finding the pickups and deliveries is scaring me some. I keep telling myself, I'm in the same spot all other new drivers experience. Time takes time.
