My Wilson Logistics Training Diary

Prologue March 13, 2022

I am sitting in my motel room in Springfield, MO. Training begins tomorrow morning at 6:45 AM when the shuttle van arrives to pick us up. Had a soak in the hot tub this afternoon as I may not have another chance. Felt pretty good 😉. Just been relaxing and studying my pre-trip packet.

Can't promise an interesting read as I told Anne in one of my previous posts that diaries and journals have never been my thing. But I did tell her I would try. So Anne, this diary is for you.😁😉

Day 1

Van picked us up at 6:45 AM and took us to the training facility. First thing we did when we got there was went out to the truck and did the agility test (open/close hood, 3 points of contact in and out of the tractor, under the trailer to check kingpin, and 3 points of contact in and out the back of the trailer). Then it was back to the classroom until lunch, which was provided by the company via Jersey Mike's. After lunch, it was back out to the truck for our Pre-trip walk through. Overall a good day, a lot of information to take in all at once, but still a good day. With that said, I am off to have some dinner and study my pre-trip packet and 4 stage air brake script.

Hi Jerry,

I didn't realize you started this week... I might've seen you today, as I was around and saw the class "graduate"! Anyway, hope to run into you.
