My First Week Adventure As A Swift Driver

As a soon to be Roehl CDL trainee thanks for the bump, well worth a read for us newbies trying to get a feel for the business, in this case a sense of the myriad potential logistics problems a driver has to endure.

Five Months later, I have had few repeats of these problems. It all comes down to actually doing the job, and having a better understanding of what's going on.

Grasshopper, you must push through your self-imposed barriers. These situations are nothing but learning experiences. Only a moment of your life, but through this door beckons a great career.

You learned patience when you practiced backing maneuvers. (Didn't you? ) Now you learn more patience!

Here endeth the lesson, Grasshopper.

You go, mountain girl!

Yeah a good, re-read the trials and tribulations, good reading. Exactly why I would carry more "tools", than a few basics lol When I can fix something, rather than wait on roadside assistance.... 4 hour wait time, then to do the repair? I could be hella ways down the road lol Glad ya got thru all that initial, "Anything, and everything, that can go wrong, will" period... Errol,

Steve VWBusman. couldn't resist this:
Where the heck is Bullhead City?

Seriously? lol, a Tri-state area,,,,,,, Across the Colorado River, from Laughlin, Nevada, about 6 miles from my house here. And Needles, Calif. to the south of me about 20 miles....Only stuck here since I broke my right leg, and dealing with healing. I swore to never, live here again! hahaha

But when my mom got sick with cancer, I loaded up to get here, which I was 5 days too late. Too friggin hot here! lol 115* now, has seen it hit 133* some Augusts!

Where the heck is Bullhead City?

Steve, long ago there were bumper stickers with this line on them. Then Don Laughlin built the Riverside Hotel/Casino. Then there went the neighborhood!

PS, the words "Bullhead City" in the first post are a link to a Google map of the town. I really enjoyed Bullhead more than the casinos across the river, when I lived in LA.

Yes, summers make you want to go somewhere else.

Hahaha Yeah, after I posted, I thought 'hmmm" he's got to be pulling my leg. Everyone purt' near knows where bullchit city is hahaha Yep sometimes, ya can see old Don walking thru his joint. Heck, he even eats his own Buffets food !
