I'm a truck driver

[wanderer03]

Today I completed the training period with my company, Western Express. I did the required 3 weeks of team driving with a trainer. It was grueling and exhausting, especially having to share so small a space with another human being; and a slob at that one but he drove very safely and responsibly.

I finally got back to the terminal and tested out to become a solo driver. Perfect scores on the road test and backing. Now I get a week off and then I am a rookie Company Driver. Wahoo!

I love driving that semi!!!

 

[Rayner]

Cool that's neat. Congratulations. What kind of semi are you driving wanderer03?

 

[wanderer03]

I hope I'll get assigned a Freightliner Cascadia. They're roomy and look great.

 

[wanderer03]

Well done!!! I'll be looking forward to posts from the road. Do you know what region you'll be driving?

Thank you, Sportster. I'll be driving in the Northeast.

Will do. I'm on home time at the moment. They give you a couple of days off after upgrading to solo. I get assigned a truck this weekend.

Man I envy you. I haven't learnt to drive but that job sounds sweet, at least if it's anything in reality like driving a truck in GTA V. Just cruising along listening to the radio. Unless I'm mistaken real truckers have a log book and can legally only drive for so many hours a day, but still as long as there's no extreme traffic/delays or idiots on the road it must be so peaceful.

I was going to ask where you're at but decided you'd probably have that on your profile anyway. How is the scenery in Pennsylvania and the jobs you do or are likely to do? Also go Eagles!
