Today we met our TE's (training engineers),they started by going over our log books making sure we've been doing them right ... Went outside did a pre trip on the tractor, then we went over the Qualcomm to find out our daily assignment ,went to the railyard to get registered after all that was done headed back to the yard for lunch ..

Man you guys keep putting down my beloved NE. Ok so the roads are a little bumpy. And you can hardly find parking anywhere. And all the streets are cramped and hard to maneuver in. And the other drivers are rude and reckless. But what's not to love! We have a all four seasons. We've got mountains and plains and ocean and cities. And the best part is since is has a huge population density the freight will always be there. Don't be afraid of taking a NE dedicated. You're already a M******* so you fit right in lol. Good luck

Everyone puts down our neloved ne cause they wernt born here but if u want my opinion. Im getting in this buisness for a challange i work as a machine opp and get bored quick with all these jobs the way i look at it ne +plus tight and conjested roads =challanges . Thats what i want ao thats what we get for being m#%$£%##! Lol

Yeah the roads suck in NE, but if your born and raised there like I was it's all good. It adds to the beauty of the area.

Spencer, I worked in Ludlow for a total of 16 years, are you attending United Tractor Trailer School? I was planning on attending this summer, but my plans changed. Staying in MO. They seem like good people at the school.

Good luck and drive safe!

Wow i live right up the road i live in chicopee and yest i did go to united but i been driving from here to virginia all my life as a four wheeler born and raised in mass it is tight but it is home.
