Well Werner now considers me to be a professional driver! I tested out today at the Dallas terminal , I hope I'm ready to solo any and all advice is welcome from you experienced drivers.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Using the search bar in the upper left-hand corner to fin additional information on going solo.

Safe travels!

Congrats!!!

Yep we have a tom of rioa and info.

The first is the hardest. It will boost your confidence when you do it.

Go slow. GOAL. Make spare keys to hide outside the truck. And be sure to check the locking jaws every time!

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

Congratulations driver! dancing-banana.gif Get sunglasses, ideally 'wrap-arounds' that help when the sun is shining in thru the side window.
