Heck, did I spell that correctly? I can't even say the name of this city!
Current update.......Marie left me! She received a call from trucking company that does local runs near her home in California, pays much better and she is home nights (?) and weekends to take care of her husband and animals. We received this call yesterday afternoon and had to coordinate a couple of loads that would end up at this terminal so she could fly out this morning. She will be truely missed as a trainer and a new friend......waves to Marie and Kevin!
I did get a call on route to the hotel that they had a female trainer and she would be picking me up at 7 PM tonight. Like gads, I was hoping for at least two days of down time before hitting the road. The new trainer called me and stated that she is on a designated route and home on weekends. So.....while taking that well needed shower, I thought, she is picking me up tonight and returning me home tomorrow for the weekend, and it just clicked.....I need more hours!
I called my SDM and she cancelled the order, seeking a 48 state non-smoking driver so I might be here for the weekend. I will be compensated for my time but I really need to hit the road so cross your fingers that I get another Maria :) The sooner on the road doing long haul, the closer I get to my truck!
My mom has been having problems posting posts but I think that is because she did not sign on to her profile. You do not need to create a blog to post and please, POST! Trucking is such a one sided conversation, add something to it!

OK, Here is some addition. Now, you are still in training, so the amount of miles you roll does not affect your training pay, right? So are you concerned about miles just cause you want to finish training, do you need to have a certain nunber of miles to complete training? It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it now anyway! Still waiting to hear from Brian, YOU OUT THERE BRIAN? I am in Fontana with Schnieder on April 2. See you on the road!
Hey Jim!
I just get my $50 a day...I want my miles so I can finish training and get my own truck. Good luck with Schnieder and keep me informed.
And yes.....where is Brian and the rest of the class?
