Profile For Bryan Q.

Yeah it just really sucks when I have a good set up and I can’t even back it up good with out the truck jerking and slinging my stuff everywhere. It’s really annoying. And embarrassing too.

How's it doing on a straight back?

When I straight back it’s fine. But when I have to set up for a angle back that’s when it’s a problem. It’s like when I have to turn the wheel that’s whe it starts shaking a lot.

Oops. Sorry it’s a automatic. And I’m very careful about touching the gas. But just the slightest touch the thing shakes like crazy

So I’ve been out by myself for 3 weeks now with swift. :) yay. But the problem I have is when I back my truck shakes very VERY bad and it slings my stuff around. I have 14 international pro star... what is causing this ? It’s annoying when I try to back into a spot and at a truck stop.

Bryan: I bet with your baby-face looks along with wearing a Heritage Bible College t-shirt, how many times have you had your cheeks pinched by the older ladies out there saying "what a sweet young man you are!"

I get so many looks because people think I’m little kid driving the big ole machine lol

HAHAHAH !!!! I haven’t had my cheeks pinched ....YET 😂😂😂

I get so many looks because people think I’m little kid driving the big ole machine lol

Well today I passed my upgrade test with swift. Now I’m on my way home and just waiting until I get a truck available. I can’t wait for my adventure to start now !

Hahaha makes sense now lol

Are you ever in the chambersburg area? G town ?

What does MT stands for ? Lol my mentor would tell me to send for a MT move. And all this time I’ve been typing empty haha

G town I don’t think so. What is that about ?

So I’m almost done with my mentor ( thanks God ) and he does dedicate routes. Basically all I ever done was chambersburg pa down to mount Crawford va. That’s really it. So no trip planning really. And we only use macros 0-6 and he does intermodal but when I get on my own I’ll be doing dry vans. Which idk why they put in intermodal? But anyways. I know when I get on my own I’m going to have trouble with trip planning and all my other friends said they use more macros otr. So basically can anybody help me out on going about trip planning especially if I have to go let’s say from Nc to California.

I went to the swift academy!

I know TMC is one. I almost went with them until I read that lol my Hair shoulders length and it took me a long time to grow. So I didn’t want to cut it off.

So when I get my own truck with swift after I’m done with my mentor. Will those cigarette plug inverters work for a crock pot ? Or maybe my lap top ? I know I can really idle my truck with swift. But idk if those would mess up the battery or anything

I finished the swift academy Richmond. With the swift skills test you have 3 chances. Then you have one more shot to pass. And if you fail that you’re gone.

Thanks ! Hopefully I’ll run into you sometime !!!

Well I’ve been out for about 2 weeks. My mentor is pretty cool. We do dedicated intermodal account outbof Pennsylvania to Virginia and Maryland. It’s ok. I like the trucking. Not a big fan of the dedicated as I want to be otr. But I’m getting my experience in. And it’s going great so far. He said since the first time I jumped in the seat I was doing perefect. And my backing was really good too :)

Thanks guys ! It’s like I see my trailer and I know what I want it to do. But when it’s time to do it. It’s like oops hahaha. But. There’s always tomorrow ! Missed out on a amazon load today :(

So my mentor said I have been doing extremely well he’s just been chilling until the first 50 hrs are up. He said my backing is impressive. But I do tend to steer too much. How do I correct myself with this ? Once I see my trailer I tend to steer hard to try to get it in the slot. So how can I correct myself with this issue ?

Brett it feels amazing !!!

And thanks guys ! It’s so crazy how fast this happen
