Trainer was driving!

Looks like you are having fun out there Don!

I'm a newbie like Jeremy and I can say the "plans" some of these folks have are crazy. One person I talked to wants to "own" their own fleet within 3 years and some others are following the work for a year then go local plan. My plan? Work for Prime as long as I can. This company has been awesome so far and I've just started. I loved this article and hope to use that insight to plan my future.

Congrats!

You definitely hit the nail on the head Old School. I don't remember who said getting into this career is like a roller coaster, but that is exactly it. You start out excited, then nervous, then relief..then it continues..lol...each new milestone starts the cycle again. Even with all of that I am happy I chose to do this. The future potential is amazing and I'm truly enjoying the ride. Just thinking back a few weeks ago to where I was makes me excited to think how things will be in a few more weeks.

I am so thankful for this site and all the knowledge and insight it offers. I am thinking I need to continue through the job duties portion of the High road soon, but I've been going so hard on learning to pass the cdl test that my brain is mush. Be safe folks!

Thanks! I'm eating a huge salad and doing a lot of relaxing..lol.. The last few days have wore me out.

I passed!!! I am so relieved it isn't even funny. I ended up getting the Alley Dock as my last maneuver, got that sucker right in the box with only 2 points! Then I breezed through the driving test! After it is all done I am exhausted lol. I am now ready to do TNT after I get my sleep study Monday.

Thanks, Ya when I started messing up I totally stopped thinking and just couldn't get it fixed. So tomorrow I am going to make sure I get it setup as perfect as possible

Welp... I didn't trifecta.. I pointed out on my right side parallel. I aced pretrip with no points, did straight line and offset with no points. But I setup wrong on the parallel, started messing up, and couldn't recover it. I will be doing a refresher with trainer this evening and doing test tomorrow.

So I haven't posted yet due to things being the same. My test date got pushed till tomorrow because my FM didn't get me on the list on time. I'm nervous, but I know the maneuvers and as long as I don't screw the setup I'll be fine.the pretrip and drive I'm not super worried about. The person I was supposed to do TNT with can't due it because I'll have an auto restriction and she has a manual. I'm here till Tuesday anyway due to sleep study and having to renew medical card. Hopefully by then I'll have a trainer.

Like I said I'm nervous and just ready to get this over with. I'll keep this updated. Be safe folks.
