Nice. Ya he’s a good teacher for sure I’m learning a lot and fast. And I’m enjoying it. Ya sure wasn’t to bad lol I’ll be linehaul. They just wanna get me some practice before we start on a route with a trainer.

So day 3 update: Today started with pretrip and hooked up to some doubles then trainer drove us over to Las Vegas speedway for me to do some practice turning. After we did a few laps of that we headed over to a warehouse to drop the doubles off. Then we went to the Walmart or dhl actually to pick up 2 trailers we dropped off and back to the first ware house to get a third trailer. So hot sole practice in with triples and dropping and hooking. Longest day so far with 9.5 hours. Getting better with eld to. Trainer said I’m doing great so next week we might start on his run to slc instead of starting it in 2 weeks.

That's how we do it as well.

Glad to hear you like the trainer, that will make a huge difference in what you learn.

I'm following along, as well!

Wow, sounds like training is coming along marvelously!! Hopefully when your training IS complete (and I know / feel you'll make it!) this can be moved to the diaries section; for all the 'up and comings' that frequent our site, yet may never join. Reddaway is a 'gem' that many folks have forgotten about, myself included! Yay you!!!

I'm happy for you, man!

You guys do triples for local work? That is a new one for me, Illinois doesn't allow triples, Indiana does but only on certain highways and you are not allowed to go very far off the highway with them.

Keep up the good work!

Nv and I know Utah allows triples if tractor is permitted for it. As for doing it local work I think they do sometimes not sure or if was just for training? But I know some states don’t allow it like Cali. Thank u sir!

It blew my mind, too, when I saw the triples on the normal Interstates out west.

Very cool taking laps at LVMS! What were your lap times?

Day 4: today was some of the same as yesterday really. We started out in one truck pulling triples but then we noticed the truck was only permitted for doubles so we had to drop the trailers and get a different truck, this time a manual and the ac sucked lol. We got hooked back up and went on with training. Started a little rough with shifting but got the hang of it. We ended up later on having to drop the triples back at yard because they needed them. So broke them down and took a 48 footer to a warehouse in town and picked up a 53. Brought that back to yard dropped it and post tripped, called it a day. 9.5 hours again. I’ll take it over the first 2 days which were only 7 hours lol.

You out here pulling triples in less than 5 days, have me beat already lol. I had a chance to take our triples run before they ditched it, but wasn't interested because it runs along Lake Michigan and gets a ton of snow in the winter.

Keep up the good work!

I know I’m actually surprised I’m behind the wheel already especially of triples! Lol oh man ya that sounds scary as hell. I don’t blame you. Thank you bro.
