Prime: Let's Do This!
Topic 22543 | Page 11
Congratulations driver....
The last few days have wore me out.
We completely understand that. It's one of the things about starting this career that catches people by surprise. There's such an adrenaline rush going on, along with the super long hours, the stress of trying to do a halfway decent job for this total stranger that your hooked to like a ball and chain, and the added pressure of passing a test at something we're just barely any good at! It's exhausting. There's still some intense time ahead for you, but it gets better eventually. Hang in there - you're doing great!
Congratulations!
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!
