Thanks for sharing I'm looking at Henderson

Congratz

Looking forward to the next updates

Just gonna tag this onto his thread.

I'm signed up for the Swift Mentor Class this Thursday. This way, once he gets his CDL I can take him on my truck for his 200+ hours behind the wheel as a trainee.

Should be fun.

Way to cool and too much fun ;-)

Congrats Errol on passing.

Look forward to how your orientation goes.

Wow that's amazing there only two of you on the course, I think you may have made History( I haven't seen a truck school course with a small class - in the year I've been looking at schools) but for sure the best way to learn - Congrats on passing and getting out on the Road.

Yeah, I think everybody forgets that flipper switch at least once or a few times when first learning to shift

LOL indeed I know I have -there is just so much going on at times.

Hrynn- Really awesome you are posting your adventure - Awesome you were driving on the first day by yourself

One of my ex employers told me one day after a major stuff up ( to me it was & I was pretty upset with myself ) was " Don you're not the first person to do it and you're not the last person" I was surprised by the comment ( he's a lovely old man) but it helped me to keep it in perspective - Life's a journey enjoy the ride.

Cheers Don

Good to hear Boys Pretty cool that you can team up and run together

They do a roll call to see who is there ( don't miss any roll calls ). Missing roll call is like being late for a delivery.

Great tip Thanks for sharing

Wow what a marathon bus ride

Look forward to your new posts

Hey Don, most truck stops here in the states seem like a United Nations meeting . . . I'm not sure about the legalities of it (in fact, I'm like Sgt Schultz: "I KNOW NUTTINGG" - you might have to be an American baby-boomer to get that reference). . . anyhow, most any company seems like they will hire anyone who is legal and your country of origin is not very important . . . I hear all sorts of languages being spoken (just not Auzzi or Kiwi - youz guyz DO speak English of sorts, right?)

So come on over, do what it takes to get legal and join the fraternity (and sorority) . . . you'll find the West much more to your liking, I'll venture to guess (and not just because I'm a western man - but it does help) . . . Good Luck,

Jopa

Thanks Jopa

I got a bit of stuff to organise many around living costs while training/ residency (I think the Company can help with this from what I've seen from other kiwi's who made it) - March is the month I have in mind at the moment. I'm lucky enough to have some trucker friends in the US (fb/yt) that I hope to catch up with Truckin' is firmly in the blood

Cheers
