Newbie just starting, could use advice in general.

Hello, I'll be starting my first truck driving job next week, I completed a fairly immersive 3 month long CDL School that ended in March, and I know how to drive the truck technically (in terms of how to shift, stop, back) but with Trainers usually and never straying far from home (within 60 miles). There's so much that you don't really learn until you do it day after day in the real world. I'm going to be driving Regional Hopper Bottom, hauling anything from grain to fertilizer which is what I really have wanted to do since I thought of becoming a driver, but the company that I hired on with doesn't really have a training program, and I'm pretty much on my own from day 1. If anyone has any advice or suggestions as to what to expect, what to do, and what not to do, I'd sure appreciate it. I know I'll get it all figured out eventually over time, but you all do it everyday so I'm tapping into the wonderful world of professional drivers that have done this for a living and know more than I do. (Which is a heck of a lot) Anything is appreciated. Thanks so much -C
