Got back to Phoenix yard last night and soloed out today with May Trucking. Was a bit nerve racking. I have time off til Monday and will go pick up the truck wherever they've got one available.

Excited, anxious and nervous for the journey to start as a solo driver.

Just relax and don't get in a hurry, be watchful of everything and you'll be fine.

Tip for you: imagine your truck is in a bubble, the idea is to keep everyone else out of that bubble. In other words, don't drive in clusters. Be proactive in driving, if you see you are surrounded by a lot of cars, lift off the accelerator a little and let them by. This way, you can help keep yourself out of problem areas.

Have fun!

I'm going to take it nice and easy. I'm biting at the bit to get back on the road already. Got word I'll be going to fontana to pick up truck Monday or sometime next week.
