Default New JOB!!! Yay 4 me! ++UPDATED++



I made it through orientation and my first truck with TransAm is a 2003 Kenworth with a CAT engine and auto shift tranny.

I took the Greyhound here on Saturday. Started orientation on Monday.
The hotel was a Super 8.

The terminal is nice and clean. The people here are friendly. My FM (dispatcher) is working on a load for me right now.

Overall I would have to say this company is far better than CR England.

A Super 8? Yikes. I LOVED the Holiday Inn in Olathe that they at least used to use exclusively. Wonder if it was full :? The gals in the Holiday Inn are spectacular.

Both terminals are nice (yes, I've been in both). Which term are you based out of?

Pretty truck

have fun. Do you like pulling reefers? I couldn't do it. I tried and could never get any sleep. Those things are worse than opti idle

Pulling reefers doesn't bother me. It actually lulls me to sleep!

I got my first load. From Garland Texas to Tulsa OK. 250 miles....eh, not great, but ya gotta start somewhere.

It is supposed to deliver tomorrow, but I am gonna see if I can drop it tonight.

I talked to some other drivers here. They confirmed I would run, run, run.

I'll post it as it happens.

Run, run, run you will, except holidays and delays at shippers/receivers. Hubby says reefers lull him to sleep too :lol: He wants to know who your FM is? if you don't mind that is
