Good luck at orientation and hope u get a good mentor...............

Right now were sitting in Springfield Mo and headed for Ohio in the AM.....

Thats all for now and Ill keep everyone posted.

Thanx Pete

PS Everyone North of Austin goes to Lancaster and everyone South of Austin goes to Laredo...............................

 

After being on the road for nearly three weeks ,We drove in a couple of days ago And well be home for nearly 5 days,My mentor had a death in the family. And were shut down.I was given the opportunity to jump on another Truck and get a new Mentor but I refused,Id rather wait and go back out with my mentor of three weeks............................
I figure I know him and he knows me pretty well,Its the little things that help know a person,Like I know that he uses Sweet and Low with no cream in his coffee,He hates pickles in a Burger (LOL).....................
He also knows my limitations as a driver and my weakneses,That were working on(BACKING),So I decided to wait till hes ready....................
Ill stay in touch !!!!!
Hope ALL the newbies and Rookies are doing well.............................

Pete

 

Hey Pete, so your training as a waiter/driver? :lol: :lol: :lol:

J/K.....

 

As a rookie....newbie.......a person contemplating the trucking career....whatever...LMAO

I have enjoyed reading your thread!!!

Lots of variables and to much to go into..In short, I will be paying my own way for the CDL.....and Swift is a trucking company I have been looking at as such with Werner.....

Live in the PHX area....so I guess I can leave my options open....

Anyway, not meaning to hijack your thread....Hope all works out for you...BOL to you friend.....

 

goodluck

 

It?s easy to see that you are a real intelligent genius and will believe anything no matter how preposterous it is. 11,000 trucks you say. Hmm?that means that out of the 18,000 plus trucks that Swift currently operates with, only 7000 are currently in operation and available for the 22,000 drivers that currently work for Swift. No wonder Swift?s stock has been on the rise so much this year.

Even my four year old is smart enough to figure out that one is impossible, but hell?don?t let that slow you down, go right ahead and continue to believe that idiot and former disgruntled employee who got fired because obviously he?s more than a little incompetent. He?ll probably fit right in at CRST too, judging by the content of your post!

 

Hey Devil ......Who do you drive for ????I just noticed youre from San Antonio,PM if youd like.............................

Pete

 

Trainer just called and were headed out again...........................
When I return Ill likely be SOLO or close to it.

Hope everyone is having a good one !

STAY SAFE OUT THERE
