Congrats. I am sure you will be busy...love amazon lol
Congratulations
Drove my bobtail home for the weekend, live 3hrs from terminal ,
Welcome back! What terminal are you near? Also, is it a USX or Total terminal?
"Bobtailing" means you are driving a tractor without a trailer attached.
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.

Passed orientation, sort of, they gave me a 3 month med card due to anxiety during blood pressure test, and they did hair follicle and **** test for drugs.... Total Transportation owned by US Xpress, what I find Interesting is that us express does blood and **** test, not hair... Drove my bobtail home for the weekend, live 3hrs from terminal , will start running those Amazon loads this Monday...
I drove for Total previously for one year, and really liked them before the hospital..I would especially recommend them for a beginner...
