Back from Bootcamp
After 12 intense days of orientation and additional training, I arrived home at 8:30am Saturday morning. We drove 1,000 miles in 18 hours to get back here. They (TMC) place three to a rental car. Our first stop was Mississippi to drop the first one off. Then on to Anniston, AL. I was the last stop in Douglasville, GA and was responsible for the car and handling the gas money to get home. I'm now about to leave for my first week of OTR with my next trainer, tonight at midnight. We are heading to Tampa and then, who knows where. I wanted to update this before leaving. Don't have much time these days and can't update this on the road right now. I'm including a photo of my first day in Iowa 14 days ago. It was taken right before the weather turned rough and the average high was in the 10s. Did I mention it snowed almost everyday?
Till next time,
Dano

I can't seem to sign in and comment a new post. Not sure who or what is blocking me. Wanted to say that flatbedding isn't for everyone. They tell you no touch frieght, which is true...but you touch every part of the frieght securing it, and covering it with 140lb tarps. You should expect to spend between 3 and 4 hours of labor (not accounted for) securing your load. Reminder...you aren't paid unless you are driving. Something to remember in the trucking industry. I'm checking out the other "driving" avenues.
