From Halelton: Picked up 37k lbs of Reese Cups, took to Ogden, UT. The receiver gave us candy bars on the way out. Scheduled on a load back to PA. (I'll stop the play by play now)

I feel like they're spoiling me. I got to drive through WY hwy 80W and into UT hwy84. Wow, what scenery!

These are probably team-only loads, so I won't be on them when solo.

1st full week of OTR training phase:

Pittston, PA

Newark, NJ

Raleigh, NC to pu CDL

Atlanta, GA

Denver, CO

Golden, CO

Dodge City, KS

Hazelton. PA

Constant adrenaline rush, what a great country!

DMV can only use a physical address. They will not mail your license to a company. You're technically driving illegally since your license address is not correct. I'm at Prime now, wish I drove my car instead of getting the rental -my only regret.

With my CLP, got stopped at the scale, had to slide the trailer axle to get legal, but no fines -could they have fined me? How much?

Can a student with a Permit (CLP) be ticketed by Law Enforcement?

I did have to go inside to speak with the lady officer. Perhaps my obvious naivete, and a little southern charm, got me off the hook.

Looking for a link to explain fines, csa points, and associated costs. Does the, company, driver pay costs of fines? Is CSA score impact driver and the carrier?

Very little chance of getting closer to the correct mileage if you say nothing. Likely testing your resolve, don't be a pushover. But choise your battles.

Don't worry about that, Everyone will know!

Everyone who followed me around NYC area highways with the loaded flatbed - already knows! 😨

OK, now have a, paper, CDL.

Where do I pickup a "Rookie Driver" plate? jk

Yes, about 47k lbs iron pipe

Everything is moving along here. Day 14.

CDL Exam this Friday.

Have driven about 1,900 miles. Last load from Charlotte NC to Staten Island NY: plumbing supply yard in a heavy traffic and small streets, telephone poles have deep truck scrapes. Told trainer wasn't safe for me to navigate that corner with traffic.

Really like the truck stop (Love's) shower rooms! Clean and large.

Truck is slow!! 57 or 62 when on the cruise, but it gets the job done.
