Sounds like things are moving along just fine and going pretty good. Just keep hanging in there and plugging along and training will be over before you know it. I had a friend work for Western Express, he did dry van there. He had no real complaints and did pretty good there. Keep the updates coming.

Personally I cant stand the big headsets most drivers use. Instead I prefer the neckband with earbuds similiar to This. I had a pair that lasted me over a year and a half doing foodservice delivery even in the rain. My wife said she often couldn't hear the noise of the truck either. I believe it cost $40 at Walmart.

I have something similar to these. I have the LG brand and they have been flawless. I absolutely love them. The are kind of discreet and I don't have to look silly when I forget to take a bulky headset off and walk inside a store or something. The sound quality is good and everyone says they hear me really good.

This whole situation is crazy that they would even make you wait to get a credit card from them to fuel their truck. Generally any reputable carrier has that ready to go and you are given a fuel card before you are even given a truck. I would be very leery of this whole situation. It sounds to me like a company that may be on the verge of folding up. I could be wrong but that is just my feeling. We generally don't advise people to move on from a company too often but in your case I would strongly consider it. Best of luck to you and hopefully they get that card to you soon.

Wow! This is so scary. Glad you are okay though and didn't suffer anything to major. Take your time, clear your thoughts and heal up.

Good luck on your exciting new adventure and I will be looking forward to your future updates.

That is a pretty truck. I know I’m a guy lol but I have always liked the purple trucks.

Well that escalated quickly.

Omg wow this is so scary! This is one of my biggest fears and it seems no matter how good of health you are in it could happen to anyone. One of our drivers passed away a couple of months ago while driving. He had enough bearings to pull over to the shoulder of the road and proceeded to have a massive heart attack. I am truly sorry to hear that you suffered this but I am very happy to hear you are okay now and that you made the right decision to go to the hospital. Always listen to your body, very good advice and thanks for sharing this.

Sounds awesome Marc. I see their trucks running around occasionally. Good luck and keep us updated.

This diary is a really good read. Congratulations on the new job and I will definitely be following along and looking forward to future updates.
