First Week Driving Solo

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the advice and encouragement. I just get so excited to be getting loads that I just drive and I don't think to look it up. I had full faith in my directions and the Qualcomm. I know now that it is not always right. But it helps to hear from other truckers that they got lost going there too. Lots have told me so. Even the guard there said alot of people end up in the airport. Send a newbie to Jersey and your gonna have issues. But I hung in there and made it. It was really pretty comical. I only wanted to cry once after leaving the airport and driving around the city streets trying to not do a u turn in the middle of the road like the Qualcomm told me to. Oh hell no!!!! By the time I popped the tire be it was like, "ok, this is pretty funny. It can't get any worse even if the truck spontaneously catches fire.". I always try to find the humor in situations I can't change. Life is just too darn short.

Take it one day at a time. Everything "will slow down", as is often said and become less stressful. It will get easier.
