Now I’m doing training for running doubles into Washington DC. Pretty interesting. Not as hard as I thought it would be. The hardest part for me is getting used to working nights.

Hey, Brandon;

So excited for you,man!

Yeah, that's what Tom said, when he went to FX/LH for a bit, back when....not as hard as he thought, either!

In mirroring the guys above, WE WANNA HEAR MORE!

Best wishes; stay safe! Howdy to the missus, also~!

~ Anne & Tom ~

ps: If only a DC was closer for us . . . the closer one is 'all full up!'

Doubles:

Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.

Been doing D.C. doubles at Walmart for a few months now and it’s going good. Home every night, sleep late in the morning, make breakfast in my own kitchen lol. Sometimes I miss being otr and seeing different places, but I like seeing my grandkids every day. Also, the missus is trying to get in Walmart now as a coordinator. Hopefully that works out. She really wants it. We love Walmart. I have no regrets coming here. Thanks to Turtle and everyone else on here for their advice and encouragement as I went through the hiring process here. Last year was a good one and I’m looking forward to many more here. Y’all stay safe.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Just a little update. I’m getting off the DC daycab and going back out on the road. A year in Dc is enough lol. My wife also is now a transportation coordinator at my transportation office. Everything is going great here at Walmart.
