Big T These Questions Are For You!

Big T-

1. Do you still train for Swift? 2. Do you do Refer? 3. Do you have a trainee now? 4. Can you come to Lathrop? 5. Do you use a CPAP Machine?

I know a lot of questions.

Yes I still train. Yes i run reefer. No i do not have a student. Im getting ready to take four days off on the 3rd. I've been out since halloween and my daughter's birthday is the 4th. I do not use a clap, but wouldn't care if a student has one. I have a 19 with the 1800 watt inverter.

Only issues would be my upcoming hometime and im a smoker.

Im doing a 34 after I deliver tonight in oregon so it would be early monday before I could get to lathrop.

Well according to Fontana people I have to have a trainer who also uses a CPAP machine. Which doesn't makes sense. But the smoking thing would bother me a bit. I lost half of my left lung to smoking in 2013. So respiratory issues are a concern. But the fact that you don't have a trainee now was great to hear (not that I don't want you to have a trainee) and that you do Refer was also. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to your daughter. Thanks for answering my questions.

I remember you had said something about being an ex smoker that's why I mentioned it.

Im going to guess, and that's all this is, that they require you to have a mentor with a cpap because you have rules you have to comply with using one. While I can learn them it wouldn't be the same as someone living with those rules everyday.

Kind of like hours of service. I can teach anyone the hours of service rules, but if you're life doesn't revolve around them it makes a difference.

Well if it wasn't for the fact that my respiratory lungs couldn't take it. I would like your advice in this matter since Fontana can't seem to find me a mentor. That was why I reached out to you in the first place. But other than the smoking, I am very easy to get along with and that I take training seriously. I mean the training is necessary for everyone. But I will say this, no one woke one day and said, "I sure would like to live in a 5' x 5' x 7' room for a month with two people." But it is necessary, so I am willing to do what I have to do to make myself successful in this endeavor. I know that I couldn't do it without a mentor. My experience has been local, or doubles and triples OTR. And that was 8 1/2 years ago was the last time I drove, (other than school this time.)

Thanks for reaching out to me.

I'll post in the mentor's fb group and see if I can find anyone.

Also try calling West Valley. You may be out of luck since it's the weekend and a holiday but doesn't hurt to try.
