02/25/12 - Well, not much to say except this company stays busy! The shortest day that I have worked was 12.5 hours and most are right at 14. This past week I worked about 67 hours.
My trainer rode with me for the first day explaining the ropes. He saw that I had a grasp of what was going on so from the second day forward he was in his truck and I would follow him. He would help me load, strap the cars down and unload on Tuesday and Wednesday. The next 4 days he was still with me but I did all of the work myself with him watching from a distance. After a week and a day I was signed off.
To give you an idea of a day, yesterday I went to Lawton, OK unloading 4 used cars from the auction, back to Ft. Worth to load 4 new Hondas, delivered those to Ardmore, OK then back to Ft. Worth. Im still slow at loading/unloading but that will come with time and Im not in a rush as I dont want to damage and cars.
Before I came to work here I talked to several employees and drivers for other companies. Nobody had anything negative to say about this company. Even talking with fellow employees since I started, nothing has changed. The owners and management is laid back and so far everyone seems to be really nice. I think Im going to like this place once I get used to the hours.
