Hey by the way man, speaking of bad drivers, not sure if you recall several months ago you had commented on a thread talking about Amazon drivers and I will see the craziness once Iām out here? Last week while driving down to Green Bay an Amazon driver basically stopped in the right lane of US 41 at an intersection with cross traffic. A moment later the state patrol went and got him š

TT On Facebook
Hello TT Family,
Last week I completed phase 2 of my training with my first in cab coach at Veriha and updated my Training Diary.
Next 2 weeks I am working with a bit of a hybrid Regional/OTR driver. After driving around Green Bay and Marinette, my first haul with my phase 3 training driver is from Appleton, WI to South Boston, VA...right through the Appalachian Mountains!
Yes, I will be going through the stomping grounds of one of TT's most beloved moderators going through mountains for the first time in my life (first time as a spectator). Looking forward to the road and bracing for the challenges and trials it will throw at me. Last week I drove in sleet, fog, and 25-30 mpg winds. Looking forward to the next challenges and opportunites.
Be safe everyone!!
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
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.
