Aweaome thanks guys. Im glad i dont have to worry about getting sent somewhere and getting stuck there. Happened once when a shipper had a massive issue at their packing plant and we sat for 30 hours.

Do freight lanes vary from company to company? Do the mega corps even have freight lanes? (Like prime) is there a difference between freight lanes and areas that are known to have a lot of freight? How would one obtain this knowledge?

I only ask because when i upgrade i wanna be able to say ok im heading to point B and freight sucks from there so i better stock up extra on food. Or if freight is really good i can make do with current supplies and resupply later. Also if im heading to an area with horrid loads coming out then maybe i can catch that movie ive been wanting to see.

Id have a kenworth w900 icon with super sleeper (biggest they make from factory) chicken lights everywhere, train horns, nice plush leather interior, and have it be a manual transmission. Oh and also replace the headlights with the classic round lights but they must be high powered leds.

I like that twelve idea. I was considering being a psd trainer or in house trainer in thw long run. Help ease people into the lifestyle.

Im just a rookie but i fear three things.

1) rollover from sudden gusts of wind

2) someone tries insurance fraud accident

3) mountain driving and suddenly snow and ice and i cant shutdown.

Thanks guys things are going a bit more tolerable now so i think im just gonna tough it out now. After all i only have like 3 weeks left and they arent even true full weeks (need to swap my license over so thats one day, then i gotta go get a dot physical done so thats another day, and the last week isnt a full week sinve he is going on hometime on june 1st so thats not all that bad anyways)

I apologise if it seemed to be arguing g-town. I wasnt trying to appear like that. I only wanted to make thinga clearer into what im trying to say. I apologize for the misunderstanding and the miscommunication.

And thank you old school for that. I know im going to miss having the knowledge bank sleeping a few feet away from me, but then again, he also gave me his phone number incase i ever need help on the road later on as well. I also have his friends number. His friend is an owner op for prime for 25 years.

No i understand night driving will happen in trucking. I accept that. But i feel like ive been banished from the light until i upgrade. (Effectively thats what he told me) I havr no issues with doing night shift, just having to do it 2 months no stopping to get even one day shift break gets a bit tiresome.

Yeah i asked him if i was getting on his nerves, he said i wasnt and he would let me know. And the thrill of trucking was for me able to see the sights, discover new places, and enjoy myself out there. Right now zince week 2 of tnt (its been 6 weeks out so far) ive been nonstop night shift only. My mentality went from enjoying the sights and relaxing (not too much but enough that it doesnt take a crowbar to pry me off the wheel from being uptight), all the way to counting down how many minutes till i stop for another cup of joe. I enjoyed night shift at first and honestly i think id enjoy it more if i wasnt stuck looking out into black and i had scenery to look at. Even if it was the same state and the same area, better than black.

Is it normal for tnt to suck the spirit of trucking out of you? I feel like im just constantly nonstop getting on my trainers nerves. Im tryig my hardest nd everything. Sighs i know he means well, and i know hes a decent guy, i wonder if me getting him agrivated so much if im really cut out for trucking sometimes... now i know why they say tnt will take people chew them uo and spit them out if not careful....

I guess what im asking is will things be better when im on my own?
