Thank You Everybody, I'm Enjoying Trucking

Went to Henderson academy for 4 weeks, with a trainer for 6 weeks and have been driving solo for 8 weeks. I am now enjoying trucking. It was hard at first, 10 weeks not being home. I got homesick, very bad. I almost quit during training 3 times, I was very depressed and my racist, jerk of a trainer was probably the main cause. Although, I did learn a lot from him, he's still and @$$!!0/3. Now that I'm on my own, can go home every 2 weeks, I'm getting good miles and the good pay that goes with that, I'm enjoying this. However, once I fulfill my obligation and get a year of experience, I'll be looking for something more local, at the very least regional.

Thanks

Good report, Shiva!

Good to hear things got better for you. The number #1 issue I worry about is getting a bad trainer, or "finisher" as XPO/Con-way calls them. I'm an education junkie (another "Thank You" to Brett for The High Road Program) and there is just so much you could learn from a good trainer. I would be sorry to see such a unique opportunity be wasted. So I hope for the best, and take courage from your experience that I can get through the worst.
