Great First Couple Weeks And Somewhat Rough But At Least We Are Getting The Truck Cleaned

I have to admit, I am learning a lot my first two weeks solo. I have hauled rectangular steele 45000 lbs, wood 47950, and then now manufactured wood product 43000 some, but with a trailer thats had to have multiple appointments since my second trip lol. Then today the brake chamber line breaks while i am driving at 55 mph. Sat for close to three hours! Truck still needs a thermostate. I have been enjoying the scenes and driving for sure. Feel good to be in the rig. One thing through all of this I have learned well, COMMUNICATION is your friend. Overcommunication is good too. Undercommunication is where you will fail if you let it get there. Had 3 days of hometime was well nice. Im rolling towards Gibsonton, Florida. Lets get it!

This morning I wake up to 49° weather. Man is that nice compared to what I have been in lately.

Glad it's going well, man!

Glad it is going well... and you're absolutely correct. Communication is important. Documented communication is IMPERATIVE. If you don't have a qualcom / people-net etc unit in your truck, communicate by phone and follow that up with an email or text message. Keep that stuff - you never know when you might need to demonstrate basis for operational decisions.

Very true, I definitely can see that being valuable! What are some trucking stories you have? Did you serve in the military?
