July 18

Well, after a couple of weeks at home and in Dallas I am finally back on the road again.

This time I am out for 3 weeks with a finshing trainer. He will basically have me do almost all of the work and make sure that I do it correctly. After this phase is over with I will go back to Dallas and take about 2 days of classes. After that they will assign my truck to me and I become a solo driver.

For this phase of my training I am on a truck that runs a dedicated route from California to Atlanta. We are in a brand new Freighter with less than 18,000 miles on it. Man, this thing is really quite and rides like a Cadillac!
